SABER Certificate forLaundry Appliances & Equipment
Washing Machines, Tumble Dryers, Washer-Dryers & Laundry Equipment
Laundry is the only domestic family measured twice — on electricity and on water — and both figures come from one nominated programme. That ties the file to a named cycle on a named model, so a programme change can move the declaration on its own.

Product & Regulation
HS Code
HS 8450
Household and laundry-type washing machines, including washer-dryer combinations. Drying machines on their own fall under 8451, along with commercial laundry equipment, and a dishwasher under 8422. The Saudi code runs longer than four digits and is confirmed from the specification and the rated capacity, not from the product name.
Regulation
Laundry appliance safety standards (IEC 60335-2-7 for washing machines and -2-11 for tumble dryers) plus Saudi energy and water efficiency labelling; exclusion of commercial and coin-operated machines 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
Washing machine, tumble dryer, combined washer-dryer, or commercial laundry equipment
What the assessment reads the product as, which decides the evidence it asks for.
Types of Laundry Appliances & Equipment
Front-loading washing machines
Front-load automatics by rated kilogram capacity. The reference programme carries both declared figures.
Top-loading and twin-tub machines
Top-loaders, semi-automatics and twin-tub machines. A semi-automatic is measured differently from a full automatic.
Tumble dryers
Vented, condenser and heat-pump dryers. The three move heat differently, so the energy case is not shared.
Washer-dryer combinations
One drum that washes and dries. Figures are declared for each function rather than once for the machine.
Commercial laundry equipment
Coin-operated, on-premise and industrial washers, dryers and ironers. Professional equipment, so the label scope needs confirming.
Accessories and installation parts
Inlet and drain hoses, vent ducts, stacking kits and pedestals. Shipped with the machine but not part of its declaration.
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 with its wash and dry capacity)
- Datasheet, Energy & Water Label and Manual(the declared cycle must be named, not implied)
- Safety & Consumption Test Reports(No report? We can arrange testing.)
- Commercial Invoice & Packing List(needed at the shipment stage, not to start)
The core set. On laundry appliances the file also turns on rated wash and dry capacity in kilograms, the nominated reference programme the declarations were measured on, declared energy and water consumption, spin speed, and the energy and water label artwork in Arabic. 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 with a washer range in four capacities
An illustrative maker offering 7, 8, 9 and 10 kg versions of one platform. The cabinet and motor are shared; each capacity is measured on its own reference cycle.
- Example 02
Importer with household and coin-operated machines
An illustrative consignment of domestic front-loaders alongside coin-operated units for a laundrette. The household and professional lines are separated before the shipment certificate.
