The Israeli electronics market attracts foreign manufacturers and importers thanks to its technological advancement and stability. However, to enter the market, it is necessary to go through certification and obtain approvals confirming that the products comply with national standards.
Many companies believe that intermediaries or brokers are mandatory, but in fact, with proper preparation, it is possible to complete the procedure independently.

Key Requirements for Electronics 

For electronics certification in Israel, several key aspects are important:

• operational safety (electrical safety, protection against short circuits, overheating);
• compliance with electromagnetic compatibility (EMC);
• fire safety and resistance to external influences;
• correct labeling and technical documentation;
• compliance with national SII standards and international standards (ISO, IEC, CE).

All these requirements are monitored by the Standards Institution of Israel (SII) and relevant ministries.

How to Complete Certification Independently 

The certification process includes several steps:

• preparation of technical documentation and product description;
• selection of an ISRAC-accredited laboratory for testing;
• conducting tests according to standards for electrical safety, EMC, and other requirements;
• preparing test reports and submitting them to SII or the relevant ministry;
• obtaining the certificate and labeling authorizing sales in Israel.

It is important to strictly follow all requirements for documents and labeling to avoid rejection or delays during review.

Advantages of Independent Certification

• reduction of costs for intermediaries and brokers;
• control over timelines and process stages;
• direct interaction with laboratories and certification bodies;
• detailed understanding of SII and ministry requirements;
• transparency and clarity for future shipments.

Risks and Recommendations 

Although independent certification is possible, certain risks should be considered:

• documentation errors or incomplete packages can delay certification;
• choosing a non-ISRAC-accredited lab can result in test results being rejected;
• non-compliance with labeling and packaging rules can lead to fines or customs delays.

Recommendations to minimize risks:

• clarify requirements for your specific electronics category in advance;
• use ISRAC-accredited laboratories;
• carefully check compliance with EMC, safety, and fire-resistance standards;
• keep all test reports and documents for future shipments.

Opportunities for Foreign Manufacturers 

Independent certification of electronics provides several advantages:

• quick confirmation of product compliance;
• savings on intermediary services;
• independent market-entry planning;
• increased trust from consumers and distributors;
• simplified re-certification for updated or new models.
