Choose the Right Saber Certificate for Your Product
Starting your journey to obtain a Saber Certificate, first determine whether your product is regulated or non-regulated. Next, understand the required certificates and the key differences between a Product Certificate and a Shipment Certificate.
1. Regulated Products (High or Medium-Risk-Product)

This evaluation may include obtaining a Certificate of Conformity, Saber Certificate COC, SASO QM Mark, G-Mark, or SASO IECEE recognition certificate, Energy efficiency label, water efficiency label and water realization certificate, depending on product nature and HS code.
