Requirements for Importing Air Conditioners into Saudi Arabia: SABER and Energy Efficiency

Air-conditioner requirements vary by type, capacity, and construction. Window, split, ducted, and commercial systems should not be treated as one category.

Model and capacity

Match the unit type, capacity, voltage, frequency, refrigerant, indoor and outdoor units, brand, and model across the report, label, and invoice.

Energy efficiency

Current official sources reference SASO 2663 for lower-capacity air conditioners, with other requirements for different capacities or categories. Verify the actual product before choosing a test or label route.

Safety and IECEE

Review electrical safety and Saudi IECEE Recognition only where the product falls within the current official scope, together with SABER and marking requirements.

Before shipment

  • Match the model and label.
  • Review indoor and outdoor unit combinations.
  • Confirm report coverage.
  • Complete the shipment stage.

Start with our compliance services and SABER process guidance. SaberVerify does not issue energy labels or certificates.
