Naming a manufacturer here means ARABKOR works with it. It does not mean every product it makes is available in the Kingdom.

Built where tight thermal limits are routine.

South Korea runs some of the largest semiconductor fabrication plants in the world, where clean-room temperature and humidity are held within narrow limits. Its electrical equipment is tested to the KS C IEC series, Korean Industrial Standards harmonised with IEC standards, so test results read in the same terms as international reports.

Factory know-how,
carried to Saudi engineers.

ARABKOR is building its commissioning and service team in the Kingdom with Saudi engineers. They are trained on the equipment through knowledge transfer from the Korean manufacturers, so the skills to commission and maintain it stay in Saudi Arabia. The work supports the local-content goals of the National Industrial Development and Logistics Program (NIDLP).

Questions

Which Korean manufacturers does ARABKOR work with?

ARP, KACECO, FLOWSOX and Carnotfleet, ARABKOR's Climate Technologies manufacturers.

What is the IECEE CB Scheme?

An international system for the mutual acceptance of test reports and certificates for the safety of electrical equipment, based on IEC standards. A CB test report issued by one participating laboratory can be used by others, which reduces repeat testing.

Does a CB test report replace SABER certification in Saudi Arabia?

No. Products still go through SASO conformity assessment via SABER. A CB test report can support the technical file.

Does ARABKOR work with each manufacturer on the same terms?

No. Terms differ by manufacturer and are discussed in a consultation.

Does ARABKOR train Saudi engineers?

ARABKOR is building its commissioning and service team with Saudi engineers, trained on the equipment through knowledge transfer from its Korean manufacturers.

Bring us a question for the factory.

Send the specification or the site question. We take it to the manufacturer and reply with their answer and ours. Korean manufacturers looking at the Saudi market can write to us the same way.

Specifications, test reports and commercial terms are shared in a consultation.
