Extends Scope of SASO IECEE Recognition Certificate

In Saudi Arabia, some categories of products require SASO IECEE Recognition Certificate (SIRC) to obtain the Product CoC and Shipment CoC for clearance of the shipment at the KSA Customs. The SIRC can be received only if the product is tested by Certified Body Testing Laboratory (CBTL) which is IECEE approved and has a valid CB test report and certificate. 

The Saudi Standards, Metrology and Quality Organization (SASO) has recently expanded the scope of its SASO IECEE Recognition Certificate (SIRC) program by 2021. Thus, the following types of product require SIRC from September 1, 2021: 

‍

Coffee makers

Water kettles

Electric oil fryers

Electrical cables

Video game consoles and accessories

All types of electric pumps providing five horsepower or less

Updates Requirements for Some Information and Computer Technology Equipment

The Communications and Information Technology Commission of Saudi Arabia (CITC) issued technical specification GEN002 “Requirements for specific ICT Equipment”. The specification became valid from July 20, 2021. According to this document, the CITC specifies the requirements for the following product categories:

‍

  • Mobile phones, tablets, and mobile computers
  • Mobile routers and customer premises equipment (CPEs)
  • Cellular IoT devices

‍

Thus, mobile phones, tablets and mobile computers must support at least LTE (4G) technology. However, in this specification the CITC strongly recommends manufacturers to produce devices that can support 5G NR technology as well as WiFi 6 and WiFi 6e (5.925 – 7.125 GHz) and should also be equipped with eSIM.

The devices must support B1, B3, B8, B20, B28, B40 and B41 (2540-2640MHz) LTE frequency bands.

Please, note that starting from July 1, 2022 devices must also support 5G NR: n1, n3, n8, n28, n40, n71, n77 frequencies to get access to the KSA market.

Moreover, all handsets must support the Cell Broadcast Service (CBS) and starting from October 1, 2021 they also should meet requirements on supporting the Advanced Mobile Location (AML) emergency communication service.

The CITC reminds that all mobile phones, tablets and mobile computers must have CITC E-Label embedded in their software. The E-label shows that the device was approved against CITC requirements and can be sold on the KSA market.

The E-label should be affixed with the type approval certificate number (TA xxxx-y).  

The CITC sets the following requirements for mobile routers and CPEs:

This category of devices must support at least LTE (4G) technology and starting from July 1, 2022 also WiFi6 technology. However, the CITC recommends the manufacturers to produce devices that can also support 5G NR and WiFi 6e (5.925-7.125 GHz) technologies.  

Along with that, they should operate in the following LTE frequency bands: B1, B3, B8, B20, B28, B40 and B41 (2540-2640MHz) and starting from July 1, 2022 devices must also support 5G NR: n1, n3, n8, n28, n40, n71, n77 frequencies to get access to the KSA market.

Cellular IoT devices should support at least LTE (4G), NB-IoT, or LTE-M technologies and operate in B3, B8, B20, and B28 frequency bands.

The CITC also recommends for such devices to be able to operate on LTE/NB-IoT/LTE-M: B71 frequency band.

Issues Procedure for Product Approval 
in Form of DoC

ANATEL introduced a new Telecommunications Products Reference List that determines products that are required to pass the conformity assessment procedure in the form of certification or declaration. The detailed approval procedure for products that are subject to declaration of conformity has not determined yet. That is why the ANATEL issues new act 3939 on June 1st, 2021 describing the Procedure for Telecommunications Approval in the form of Declaration of Conformity (DoC) for devices according to the List.

Now a company can directly register the product in ANATEL. However, this calls for the registration of the company on the ANATEL’s platform. The product itself must be registered on the platform and approved before putting into the Brazilian market.

The following documents will be required for approval procedure:

Letter of Commercial Representation

Documents with technical information on the product

Internal and External Photos

Factory Management System Certificate

Test Reports

Technical Compliance Statement

Please, note that test reports generally can only be considered valid for approval purposes up to 2 years after the date of initial issue of the report.

The test report may also be used by a third party for related product certification purposes when the owner of the report gave the relevant permission to use.
