Israel SII certification

Certification Introduction

The Standards Institution of Israel (SII, The Standards Institution of ISrael) is the official standards body of Israel according to the Standards Law of 1953. To date, the SII has issued and implemented as many as 3,000 Israeli standards, which are designated by the code name "IS". For controlled electrical and electronic products, it is required by law to apply for and obtain SII certification as a clearance and sales permit from January 1, 2005.

For most IEC standards, SII accepts the IECEE mutual recognition system for test certificates for electrical products. According to the CB Scheme rules, SII accepts and recognizes CB reports and CB certificates, and only needs to test for compliance with Israeli differences and additional requirements (including EMC certification standards). However, it should be noted that the current product categories for which SII accepts CB transfer certificates only include: lamps and lanterns, information and office equipment, medical devices, measuring instruments, electronic entertainment equipment, and capacitors.

Product Range

According to the Standardization Law, Israel classifies products according to their potential hazards to public health and safety into four classes for different management.

Category I is the highest degree of risk to public health and safety products, such as household appliances, children's toys, pressure vessels, portable foam fire extinguishers.

Category II is a product with a medium level of potential risk to public health and safety: including sunglasses, balls for various uses, installation pipes, carpets, bottles, and construction materials.

Category III is a low risk to public health and safety products: including ceramic tiles, ceramic sanitary ware, etc.

Category IV is for industrial use only and not directly to consumers: such as industrial electronics.

Application Process

Please confirm with GIG whether it is within the mandatory scope.

2) Certification process: SII product test + SII first inspection + SII annual inspection = SII certificate

3) Logo: the following figure.

2. Safety Mark certificationSafety Mark certification: voluntary certification. Mainly also for the first I products. The main function of applying for this certification is to reduce the procedure of customs inspection and enter the market in a short time. Different from the standard mark certification, safety mark certification does not require factory inspection.

1) Compulsory products include: Class I products. Please confirm with GIG whether the specific is within the mandatory scope.

2) Certification process: SII product testing = SII certificate

3. SII type approval Type Approval: the current common way. The application is approved without granting the mark, but allows the product to be imported and sold after customs pre-shipment compliance testing. No factory inspection requirements.

4. SII Shipment Inspection: When the goods arrive at the port, Israeli customs will test and inspect the products batch by batch. This method is more risky.
