SABER Certificate forTelecom & IT Equipment
Routers, Switches, Servers, CCTV & PA Systems
This family usually needs two approvals, not one. SABER covers the product as electrical equipment, and anything with a Wi-Fi, Bluetooth or cellular radio in it also needs a separate communications type approval. We identify both up front.

Product & Regulation
HS Code
HS 8517
Apparatus for communication over a network. Data processing machines fall under 8471, and cameras under 8525. The Saudi code runs longer than four digits and is confirmed from the specification, not from the product name.
Regulation
IT and audio equipment safety standards (IEC 62368-1 family) plus communications type approval where a radio is fitted; 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
Network, computing, surveillance or audio equipment, with or without a radio
What the assessment reads the product as, which decides the evidence it asks for.
Types of Telecom & IT Equipment
Routers and access points
Wired and wireless routers and Wi-Fi access points. The radio makes a communications type approval necessary alongside the product file.
Network switches
Unmanaged and managed switches, desktop and rack mount. Declared by port count, power input and whether they supply power over Ethernet.
Servers and storage
Rack and tower servers and storage arrays. Assessed as information technology equipment, with the internal power supply part of the unit.
Networking accessories
Patch panels, media converters, transceivers and structured cabling. Passive parts are assessed differently from powered ones.
CCTV and surveillance
Cameras, recorders and video equipment. A wireless camera carries a radio, and the power supply in the box is its own product.
PA and audio systems
Amplifiers, speakers and public address equipment. Amplifier output and mains input are the declared figures that drive the testing.
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, rated input and every radio interface fitted)
- 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 this family the file also turns on the radio interfaces fitted, the external power supply shipped with it, and the rated input. 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 shipping wireless equipment
An illustrative supplier of routers and access points. The radio interfaces are listed from the datasheet first, so the communications approval runs alongside the SABER file instead of after the shipment arrives.
- Example 02
Importer with a CCTV project consignment
An illustrative consignment of cameras, a recorder, a switch and the adaptors supplied in the boxes. Several product types on one invoice, separated before the shipment certificate is requested.

* 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.
