Requirements for Importing Electric Motors into Saudi Arabia and Energy Efficiency

Electric motors may carry energy-efficiency obligations alongside safety and SABER classification, but scope depends on motor type, rating, design, and use. No mandatory efficiency class or power threshold should be stated without checking the current official edition.

Define the motor

Confirm current type, phases, rated power, voltage, frequency, speed, duty, cooling, protection rating, use, brand, model, and manufacturer. A standalone motor can differ from one integrated into machinery, a pump, or appliances.

Efficiency licensing

SASO provides efficiency services for electric motors, and official material describes an efficiency standard for rotating electrical machines. Confirm current scope, report, and accepted laboratory rather than relying on marketing data.

SABER and technical file

Review the SABER route, performance/efficiency reports, data plate, drawings/catalogue, and instructions. Power, voltage, speed, and model must align across report, product, and invoice.

SaberVerify reviews efficiency scope, classification, reports, data plates, and the SABER route. It does not issue efficiency licenses or conformity certificates.
