SABER Certificate forAutomotive Brake Components
Pads, Shoes, Discs, Drums, Linings & Brake Hydraulics
Brake parts are assessed as safety-critical replacement parts, against the vehicle applications you claim for them. Friction material and machined metal are two different files. We settle which one each line on your invoice is before anything is filed.

Product & Regulation
HS Code
HS 8708
Parts and accessories of motor vehicles. Friction material supplied unmounted can be read against 6813 instead. The Saudi code runs longer than four digits and is confirmed from the specification, not from the product name.
Regulation
Replacement braking part standards (UN ECE braking families, with asbestos-free composition evidence); route between vehicle approval and product certificate under review
Candidate review point, not a declaration that this route applies. Confirmed against the current regulation and model scope before anything is claimed.
Product
Friction part, machined braking part, or brake hydraulic component
What the assessment reads the product as, which decides the evidence it asks for.
Types of Automotive Brake Components
Disc brake pads
Pad sets on steel backing plates, the highest volume line in most ranges. Friction performance and composition, declared per vehicle application.
Brake discs and drums
Solid, ventilated and drilled discs, and brake drums. Machined metal parts, answered with material, hardness and dimensional evidence.
Brake shoes and linings
Riveted and bonded shoes and loose lining material for commercial vehicles. Frequently a different classification from a mounted pad.
Brake hydraulics
Master cylinders, wheel cylinders and calipers. Pressure-carrying components, assessed on burst and seal performance rather than friction.
Brake hoses and lines
Flexible hoses and rigid pipe assemblies. A hose carries its own construction and pressure evidence and is rarely covered by the caliper file.
Air brake components
Valves, slack adjusters and air brake parts for trucks and buses. A separate braking system, so a passenger car file does not carry them.
Each type is confirmed on its own classification and evidence. Which of them a single certificate can cover depends on how closely the constructions and test reports match.
Documents Required
- Product Details & Model List(every part number and the vehicle applications declared for it)
- Datasheet & Manufacturer Details
- Lab Test Report(No report? We can arrange testing.)
- Commercial Invoice & Packing List(needed at the shipment stage, not to start)
The core set. On brake parts the file also turns on the declared vehicle applications, the friction coefficient class claimed, the composition and asbestos-free status, and the part numbering the application list is built on. Which further documents apply varies with the confirmed classification and the model scope, so the full list is issued per file rather than per category.
Sample Certificate
Illustrative layout only — not an issued certificate, and not a reproduction of one. Certificates are issued by approved conformity assessment bodies, not by BenzilaCert.
Application Examples
Typical files in this product family and the support they call for. Illustrative scenarios, not completed engagements.
- Example 01
Manufacturer shipping a pad range
An illustrative friction manufacturer with 400 pad part numbers across one formulation. The range is grouped by friction formulation rather than by part number, because the formulation is what the performance evidence describes.
- Example 02
Distributor shipping mixed brake lines
An illustrative consignment of pads, discs and hoses on one invoice. Three evidence families, so the lines are separated and classified before the shipment certificate.

* Where applicable. Timelines and charges shown are indicative and subject to documentary review, and government and SADAD fees are separate from conformity body, testing and consultancy charges. The applicable Saudi regulation and the exact HS code must be confirmed from the product specification against the current SABER and ZATCA classification.
BenzilaCert is an independent consultancy providing application and documentation support. It is not SASO, SABER or a certificate-issuing authority, and does not issue conformity certificates.
