3. Additional Instructions and References
3.1. Why our customers need Israel Approval?
• National authorities (Ministry of Communications, Ministry of Health, Ministry of Industry and
Trade) require certain products to be certified
• Certain products entering the country are held at customs required to be certified by SII
• It is mandatory for any product type to which an existing formal Israeli Standard applies, to be
tested for compliance with the particular standard.
• The import licensing system in Israel is regulated primarily by:
a) Free Import Act of 2006 (replacing Free Import Act of 1978), Article 5(4) and Schedules 1 - 2,
for purposes of citizens' security and safety, and consumers' welfare.
b) Israeli Customs Tariff and Exemptions and Tax Act of 2006, Schedule 5; for purposes of MFN
tariff quota management, under the GATT.
These Orders establish the list of goods subject to import licensing. The first Act is administered
by the Israeli Ministry of Industry, Trade & Labour, at the Foreign Trade Administration. The
second Act is administrated by the Israeli Tax Authority at the Israeli Ministry of Finance.

Israeli product standards contain requirements dealing with safety, public health, or the
environment and are declared by the Israeli Ministry of Industry and Trade as mandatory
standards.
Every product which falls within the scope of a mandatory standard has to comply with
all the requirements of the standard in order to be marketed or used in Israel.
Electrical and electronic Israeli safety standards in Israel are usually adoptions of the international
standards (IEC) with national deviations. Israel has made a large adoption of IEC standards and is
also a member of the IEC CB Scheme. SII adheres to the CB scheme to the following IEC
standards: IEC60065, IEC60950-1, IEC60601-1 and IEC 61010-1. SII accepts CB test reports
and test certificates according to the CB scheme rules. Nevertheless by cooperation with TUV
Rheinland SII takes additionally into account the evaluation capabilities of TUV Rheinland under
national accreditation bodies being member of International Laboratory Accreditation Corporation.
The scope of TUV Rheinland covers the following categories (but is not limited to this):
Office & Data equipment, Telecommunication and Networking Equipment, Medical Equipment,
Household equipment, Audio/Video equipment, Measurement equipment, Industrial Machinery,
Luminaries and Components, Transportation and constructional elements, etc.
Some of the main deviations include but are not limited to the following: Hebrew warnings and
instructions, Israeli plug complying with SI 32, EMC testing for certain categories of products,
Hebrew packaging label in contrast with the package color consisting of the name of the
manufacturer, the model number, country of origin and the name and address of the importer.
Regarding Hebrew markings and instructions SII will help but best to involve also the Israeli
importer who will also be liable for the step of importing the products and place the products
into the Israel market.
Some examples of the Israeli mandatory standards that manufacturers are concerned with, are SI
60065 (equivalent to IEC 60065), SI 60950-1 (equivalent to IEC 60950-1), SI 1011 (equivalent to
IEC 60601-1) and SI 900 (equivalent to IEC 60335-1). For complete list, refer to
