2, product registration (Registration)

This method is suitable for the vast majority of customers. Its advantage is that each shipment inspection (PSI) is necessary, but each shipment does not need to be pre-shipment test (PST). The Client can obtain a Registration Qualification Statement (SfR) by submitting a declaration of compliance and providing a test report that complies with the importing country and relevant international or national standards, and affirming that the product has met the basic requirements and national differences of the importing country.

The product of the exporter or manufacturer can only obtain the Statement for Licence (SfL) certificate if it is fully compliant with the mandatory standards of the importing and exporting country.

The exporter or supplier applies for on-site verification and testing prior to shipment to determine if the product meets the necessary safety, environmental or other criteria as specified by Saudi technical regulations.

Path 2: Registration and on-site verification before shipment

The exporter or supplier will provide the samples for shipment for testing. After the test is passed, the model (or series model) can obtain the registration certificate and the registration is valid for one year. During this period, the registered products only need to be inspected on site before each shipment, and the CoC certificate can be obtained after the verification results are qualified.
