The PCoC is issued for every regulated product as per the applicable product standards defined in relevant Technical Regulation. The PCoC is valid for a period of one (1) year. In order to facilitate the products registration on SABER, our office in KSA is ready to assist the importers to register their products on their behalf.

• Request for Product Certificate of Conformity (PCoC) by Importer. 
• Entry of Product Details in the system based on KSA Customs Tariff Code.
• Selecting of Certification Bodies (CBs) such as Intertek.
• Payment of PCoC Fees.
• Conformity Assessment and entry of substantiating Documents/Verification Results by Intertek.
• Issuance of PCoC from the system.

Stage 2: Issuance of Shipment Certificate of Conformity (SCoC).

Every regulated product included in the shipment will be verified whether valid PCoC exists for that product and if found to be true will be issued with the SCoC. The SCoC is valid for that specific shipment only.

• Request for Shipment Certificate of Conformity (SCoC) by Importer.
