Israeli Standards Import Checker
Verified91/100Check whether a product requires Standards Institution of Israel (SII / Mechon HaTikanim) approval under an official standard (takan rishmi) before it can be imported into Israel. Returns applicable SI numbers, approval route (type approval, shipment approval, Maslol Plus declaration, EU-CoC recognition), required lab tests, timelines, and fast-track options based on the 2016 food parallel-import reform and the 2022/2025 electronics + EU-regulation reforms. Use when a user asks about importing electronics, toys, cosmetics, food-contact materials, vehicles, or building materials into Israel, asks about CE/type approval, or has a shipment stuck at Israeli customs. Do NOT use for customs duty calculation (use israeli-customs-duty-calculator) or for general product safety review outside the Israeli regulatory context.

The Problem
Products regularly get stuck, seized, or fined at Israeli customs when the importer fails to show compliance with a mandatory Israeli Standard (takan rishmi). The rules changed substantially with the 2022 electronics reform and the January 2025 What is Good for Europe is Good for Israel EU-recognition reform, and the old just use CE shortcut still does not work for many categories (for example AC mains electrical equipment in the 50-1000 V range). Importers and their advisors need a structured way to check, per product, which SI number applies, which approval route is open, and what documentation the shipment must carry.
