1. Pre-shipment compliance verification (Pre-shipment　Compliance　Verification)

This method is best for exporters or manufacturers with very few shipments. Before each shipment, you need to apply for pre-shipment inspection (PSI) and pre-shipment test (PST). CoC certificate can be obtained if both are qualified.

2. Product Registration (Registration)

This method is suitable for the vast majority of customers. Its advantage is that although each shipment inspection (PSI) is required, each batch of goods does not need to be pre-shipment testing (PST). Customers can obtain a Statement of Registration Certificate (SfR) by submitting a declaration of compliance and providing a test report that complies with the importing country and relevant international or domestic standards, and declaring that the product has met the basic requirements and national differences of the importing country.

3. Type Approval Licensing

This method not only saves the inspection fee or test fee before each shipment, simplifies the repeated application procedures, but also guarantees the delivery time. Therefore, part of the shipments are more frequent or larger in scale, and the quality and reputation are large. Favored by the company. Exporter or manufacturer's products can only obtain the Statement for Licence (SfL) certificate if they fully comply with the mandatory standards of the importing and exporting country. The certificate is valid for one year. Before expiration, you need to submit an updated factory inspection report and pay the annual fee and renew it after review by RLC. Products with SfL certificates no longer require pre-shipment inspection (PSI) for each batch, but are reduced to a few random inspections a year (generally 2-3 times/year, depending on the product status).

The test is carried out according to SASO/PAI standard or IEC standard + country difference. The requirements of SASO/PAI standard need to be considered separately, and some provisions are quite different. The rated voltage of Saudi Arabia is 220V, 50/60Hz (with BS plug) or 127V, 60Hz ( With UL plug) (need to provide another prototype for testing); Kuwait voltage is 240V, 50Hz (with BS plug).

Type certification requires factory inspection;

For electrical products exported to Saudi Arabia, the rated frequency marked on the product must include 60Hz; the user manual for air conditioners exported to Saudi Arabia must be in Arabic and English; audio and video products, the user manual must be in Arabic; the original safety regulations and EMC The report must be a report issued by an accredited laboratory within 2-3 years.
