SABER Certificate forLighting Products
Lamps, Luminaires, Drivers & Outdoor Lighting
Lighting is one of the most heavily checked product groups going into Saudi Arabia. We look at what you are actually selling — a lamp, a complete luminaire or a driver — then tell you which standards and test reports your file needs before you apply.

Product & Regulation
HS Code
HS 9405
Luminaires and lighting fittings. Lamps and tubes supplied on their own fall under 8539, and separate drivers under 8504. The Saudi code runs longer than four digits and is confirmed from the specification, not from the product name.
Regulation
Lighting safety and performance standards (IEC 60598 / IEC 62560 families); energy efficiency 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
Lamp, complete luminaire or separate driver
What the assessment reads the product as, which decides the evidence it asks for.
Types of Lighting Products
LED lamps and bulbs
Replacement lamps with their own cap and driver built in. Assessed as a self-ballasted lamp, and this is the group most often inside the energy label scope.
LED panels and downlights
Flat ceiling panels, troffers and recessed downlights. The cut-out size, the driver supplied with it and how it is installed all describe the product.
Flood lights
Outdoor, sports and industrial flood lighting. The IP rating, the beam angle and any surge protection fitted are checked against what is declared.
Street and area lights
Road and area luminaires, including solar-powered units. A solar street light carries a battery and a controller, so it is more than one product.
Emergency lighting
Exit signs and emergency luminaires with a battery and a stated duration. The duration is a tested figure, and Civil Defence may ask for it separately.
Industrial luminaires
High-bay, linear and weatherproof fittings for warehouses and plants. Mounting height and heat endurance drive the test programme on these.
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 number 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 lighting the file also turns on the photometric report, the driver details and the IP rating claimed for each model. 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 mixed lighting catalogue
An illustrative first-time exporter sending lamps, panels and flood lights together. Each group is a different product type, so the models are sorted before anything is applied for and the test reports are matched to the groups they actually cover.
- Example 02
Importer with a mixed consignment
An illustrative importer whose invoice lists luminaires and spare drivers on the same line. The drivers are a separate product, so the model scope, the invoice and the accessories are reconciled before the shipment certificate is requested.

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.
