SABER Certificate forHVAC & Refrigeration Equipment
Air Conditioners, Chillers, Heat Pumps & Refrigeration
This is the family where the energy efficiency rating usually decides the outcome, not the safety report. The refrigerant and the rating conditions are part of the product, so we confirm both from the nameplate before any application is started.

Product & Regulation
HS Code
HS 8415
Air conditioning machines. Refrigerators and freezers fall under 8418, and standalone compressors under 8414. The Saudi code runs longer than four digits and is confirmed from the specification, not from the product name.
Regulation
Air conditioner and refrigeration safety and performance standards (IEC 60335-2-40 / ISO 5151 families) plus Saudi energy efficiency requirements; 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
Air conditioning, refrigeration, heating or ventilation unit
What the assessment reads the product as, which decides the evidence it asks for.
Types of HVAC & Refrigeration Equipment
Air conditioners
Split, window, cassette and ducted units. Among the most tightly controlled products on efficiency, and rated at stated ambient conditions.
Chillers
Air-cooled and water-cooled packaged chillers for buildings and process cooling. Declared by cooling capacity and efficiency at rating points.
Refrigerators and freezers
Domestic and commercial cabinets. Energy labelling usually applies, and the label figure has to match the test report behind it.
Heat pumps
Units that heat as well as cool, including water heating. Both duties are declared, and both carry their own performance figures.
Ventilation equipment
Fans, duct units and air handling equipment. Assessed on electrical safety and airflow rather than on a refrigeration cycle.
Commercial refrigeration units
Condensing units, cold room equipment and display cabinets. The refrigerant charge and its classification are part of the product.
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(model, capacity, refrigerant and efficiency rating)
- 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 HVAC the file also turns on the declared efficiency rating, the refrigerant on the nameplate and the capacity at stated conditions. 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 a split AC range
An illustrative manufacturer offering one split range across several capacities. The efficiency rating is checked model by model against the current requirement, because the range rarely rates uniformly.
- Example 02
Importer with units and spare parts
An illustrative consignment of complete units plus spare condensing units and controllers. The spares are separate products, so the invoice and the 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.
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.
