SABER Certificate forBatteries & Energy Storage
Lead-Acid, Lithium-Ion, Industrial Batteries & ESS
With batteries the chemistry decides the route. Lithium cells bring transport requirements that a lead-acid block does not, and a cell, a module and a finished pack are three separate products. We confirm all of that before the file is built.

Product & Regulation
HS Code
HS 8507
Electric accumulators. A storage system supplied with its inverter can pull that unit under 8504 separately. The Saudi code runs longer than four digits and is confirmed from the specification, not from the product name.
Regulation
Battery safety and storage system standards (IEC 62619 / IEC 62620 / IEC 60896 families) and dangerous goods transport rules; scope 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
Cell, module, complete pack, or storage system
What the assessment reads the product as, which decides the evidence it asks for.
Types of Batteries & Energy Storage
Lead-acid batteries
Flooded, sealed and gel blocks for standby and starting duty. Declared by capacity and voltage, and handled as a wet or dry shipment.
Lithium-ion packs
Packs built from lithium cells, with a management system fitted. The cell chemistry brings transport requirements the pack cannot escape.
Industrial batteries
Tubular, traction and telecom batteries for heavy standby and cycling duty. Service life claims are tested figures, not design intentions.
Energy storage systems
Complete cabinets or wall units combining cells, a management system and often a converter. Assessed as a system, not as a battery.
Battery modules and cells
Cells and modules supplied for assembly elsewhere. Evidence for a cell says nothing about the pack somebody else builds from it.
Battery management systems
The control electronics that protect and balance a pack. An electronic product in its own right, with its own evidence.
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(cell chemistry, capacity and voltage for every model)
- 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 batteries the file also turns on the confirmed cell chemistry, the capacity and voltage declared, and the transport test summary for lithium. 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
Exporter shipping lithium packs
An illustrative supplier sending finished lithium packs. The cell chemistry is confirmed from the cell datasheet first, because it decides both the product assessment and the transport documents the consignment needs.
- Example 02
Importer bringing in a storage system
An illustrative project consignment with a storage cabinet, spare modules and a converter. The system, the spare modules and the converter are three separate products, separated before anything is applied for.
Get Your SABER Certificate
Send the Saudi HS Code if you have it, the product specification and a commercial invoice, and we will come back with the likely route and what is missing.
* 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.
