SABER Certificate forLifting & Hoisting Equipment
Electric Hoists, Chain Blocks, Winches, Cranes & Accessories
A hoist is a machine with a motor and a brake. A sling or a shackle is an accessory with a working load limit and a proof load record. The two are assessed on completely different evidence, and most orders contain both.

Product & Regulation
HS Code
HS 8425
Pulley tackle, hoists and winches. Lifting accessories are classified by material instead — chain under 7315, forged fittings under 7326, webbing slings under 6307. The Saudi code runs longer than four digits and is confirmed from the specification, not from the product name.
Regulation
Lifting appliance and accessory standards (ISO 4301 / EN 13157 and forged accessory families); machinery and electrical 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
Powered lifting machine, manual lifting appliance, or lifting accessory
What the assessment reads the product as, which decides the evidence it asks for.
Types of Lifting & Hoisting Equipment
Electric chain hoists
Powered hoists with a motor, a load brake and a pendant control. The brake and the declared duty class carry the safety case.
Wire rope hoists
Drum hoists for higher capacities, usually on a crane trolley. Rope termination and drum construction come into the declaration.
Chain blocks and lever hoists
Hand-operated appliances with no electrical content. Declared on working load limit, and assessed on the mechanical load path.
Winches
Electric and manual drum winches for pulling and lifting duties. A winch rated only for pulling is not a lifting appliance.
Jib and gantry cranes
Light cranes and portable gantries, commonly shipped in sections. How the structure is declared depends on who assembles it.
Lifting accessories
Slings, shackles, eyebolts and master links. Accessories rather than machines, supported by material and proof load 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(every model, working load limit and lift height you intend to ship)
- 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 lifting equipment the file also turns on the declared working load limit, the duty class, the brake arrangement and the lift height. 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
Workshop order with machines and accessories
An illustrative order covering two electric chain hoists, a gantry and a set of slings and shackles. The machines and the accessories are split at the start, because almost nothing in their evidence overlaps.
- Example 02
Importer shipping a capacity range
An illustrative consignment of chain blocks from 1 to 5 tonnes. The model scope is written from the working load limit list, since the load figure is what each proof record is tied to.
