SABER Certificate forEV Charging Equipment
AC Wall Boxes, DC Fast Chargers, Cables & Connectors
An EV charger is an electrical product, a connector system and often a connected device at the same time. AC and DC units are not the same product, and a wireless module can bring a separate approval. We map all of that before you apply.

Product & Regulation
HS Code
HS 8504
Static converters, which is where charging equipment is normally read. Cable assemblies and connectors follow 8544 and 8536. The Saudi code runs longer than four digits and is confirmed from the specification, not from the product name.
Regulation
EV supply equipment and connector standards (IEC 61851 / IEC 62196 families); communications approval 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
AC supply equipment, DC charger, or charging cable assembly
What the assessment reads the product as, which decides the evidence it asks for.
Types of EV Charging Equipment
AC wall chargers
Wall-mounted units supplying mains to the charger inside the vehicle. Declared by charging mode, power rating and connector type.
DC fast chargers
Floor-standing units that convert the power themselves. Far more electrical evidence than an AC box, and never grouped with one.
Portable charging units
Cable assemblies with an in-line control box. This is the charging equipment in its own right, not an accessory to something else.
Charging cables
Mode 2 and mode 3 cables supplied separately. Assessed as a cable assembly, with the connector moulded to it as part of the product.
Connectors and sockets
Vehicle and infrastructure connectors supplied as components. The connector type is a declared requirement, not a styling choice.
Charging controllers
Control and metering boards, including communications modules. A cellular or wireless module may need its own approval.
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 model, power rating and connector type)
- 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 charging equipment the file also turns on the charging mode, the connector type and whether a wireless or cellular module is fitted. 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 with AC and DC units
An illustrative supplier offering wall boxes and fast chargers in one catalogue. The two are split into separate product files, and any communications module is identified before the applications are started.
- Example 02
Importer with chargers plus spare cables
An illustrative consignment of wall boxes with spare cables and connectors. The cables are their own product, so the invoice lines and model scope are reconciled 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.
