SABER platform is mandatory

Every shipment requires a SABER Product Certificate of Conformity (PCoC) uploaded to the SABER platform, plus a Shipment Certificate of Conformity (SCoC) issued per container. SASO 2902 covers PV modules; SASO IEC 61215 and 61730 are accepted as equivalents.

Frequently asked questions

QDo I need in-Kingdom testing?

No — SASO accepts IEC 61215 / 61730 test reports from ILAC labs. In-Kingdom testing is only required for a small subset of building products, not PV modules.
