SABER Registration for Building Material Suppliers: A Complete Step-by-Step Guide

For building material exporters looking to sell into Saudi Arabia, the SABER registration process is the gateway to one of the world's most dynamic construction markets. This detailed guide walks suppliers through the complete SABER registration and certification process.

The SABER Registration Process for Building Material Suppliers

1. Create a supplier account on the SABER portal (saber.sa) with your company details.

2. Identify the applicable technical regulation for your building material by HS code and product category.

3. Select an accredited Conformity Assessment Body (CAB) such as SGS, Bureau Veritas, Intertek, or TUV to conduct testing.

4. Submit product samples and documentation to the CAB for testing against the applicable SASO standard.

5. Once testing passes, the CAB issues a Product Certificate which is uploaded to SABER.

6. For each subsequent shipment, request a Shipment Conformity Certificate (SCoC) through SABER. This is linked to the Product Certificate and required by Saudi customs.

SABER Certificate Renewal

SABER Product Certificates must be renewed annually. The CAB will conduct a surveillance assessment to verify the product continues to meet the required standard. Failing to renew means your product loses its SABER status and cannot be legally sold in Saudi Arabia.
