Suppliers can use the SABER System to apply to R-CABs for Products & Shipments certification, and R-CABs can use SABER to issue CoCs to suppliers. SABER, which is expected to be available for use sometime in February 2018, will also act as a database for Product & Product Shipment Certificates of Conformity.

The SALEEM scope, includes industrial products, cosmetic products and some medical products. For more information, please contact your local TÜV Rheinland office.
