SASO 2944 adopts a dual-track certification structure (communication module + vehicle eCall function) with separate document requirements. This article lists the full document checklist and clear validity rules.

1. Documents for CITC/CST Module RF Approval

·Enterprise documents: Manufacturer English business license, model list, Saudi importer registration documents.

·Technical documents: Schematic diagram, hardware/software description, user manual, installation guide (all English acceptable, no mandatory Arabic version).

·Test reports: RF performance, EMC test reports issued by ILAC/CNAS accredited labs.

·Sample supply: 2-3 pcs of communication module for lab verification; SAR test exempt.

  2. Documents for MOI eCall Function Testing

·eCall system function description: trigger condition, MSD field specification, manual trigger mechanism.

·Circuit & signal path document: interface definition for bench signal injection.

·Vehicle system integration document: signal interaction logic between eCall module and airbag ECU.

·MOI test report: mandatory supporting file for subsequent SABER submission.

  3. Whole Vehicle Document Package for SABER PCoC

·Manufacturer qualification: English business license (ISO 9001 not mandatory but partially required by CAB).

·Technical files: Vehicle specification, eCall system integration statement, standard clause conformity document (optional but audit-efficient).

·Test certificates: CST module approval, MOI eCall report, supplementary EU/UN R144 reports.

·Importer files: Saudi importer license, agency authorization letter.

Unify PDF signature and file naming rules per CAB requirements to avoid audit rejection.

  4. SASO 2944 Certificate Validity Rules

PCoC Validity

Valid for 1 year from issuance. Valid PCoC supports unlimited SCoC application for each batch within the validity period. Re-application required if importer info, module model or key software version changes.

SCoC Validity

Valid for 60 days after issuance; must complete customs clearance within the period. New rule since Jan 2025: SCoC must be approved before cargo arrival.

Test Report Validity

No unified 1-year mandatory rule; CAB conducts case-by-case assessment. Outdated reports with standard differences require supplementary testing.

  5. Document Simplification with EU/UN R144 Reports

Existing EU eCall or UN R144 reports can be used for gap analysis to exempt redundant test items and reduce document preparation workload. Bench supplementary testing is sufficient without local Saudi live network testing.
