SASO Certificate of Conformity CoC for Doors and Windows |SABER Compliance Guide

CoC for Doors and Windows is a mandatory requirement for importing, selling, and distributing doors, windows, and related accessories in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. As Saudi Arabia’s construction and real estate sectors continue to expand under Vision 2030, regulatory compliance has become essential for both local manufacturers and international exporters.

However, before these products can be imported, sold, or distributed in the Kingdom, they must comply with the SASO Technical Regulation for Doors, Windows, and Accessories and obtain a valid Certificate of Conformity (CoC).

This requirement is enforced by the Saudi Standards, Metrology and Quality Organization (SASO) to ensure product safety, quality, and suitability for local environmental conditions. Failure to comply may result in shipment delays, rejection at customs, or financial penalties.

Why SASO Issued the Technical Regulation for Doors, Windows, and Accessories

Saudi Arabia’s harsh climate—characterized by high temperatures, humidity, dust, and strong solar exposure—requires construction products that can withstand long-term environmental stress. The SASO Technical Regulation ensures that doors, windows, and accessories used in residential, commercial, and industrial buildings are safe, durable, and energy efficient.

The regulation focuses on:

  1. Safety and durability
  2. Structural performance
  3. Resistance to environmental conditions
  4. Thermal insulation and energy efficiency
  5. Proper labeling and product traceability

What Is a Certificate of Conformity (CoC)?

A Certificate of Conformity (CoC) is an official document confirming that doors, windows, or related accessories comply with the requirements of the applicable SASO Technical Regulation.

Under the SABER system, two types of certificates are mandatory:

  1. PCoC (Product Certificate of Conformity) – issued once per product model
  2. SCoC (Shipment Certificate of Conformity) – issued for each shipment

These certificates are required for:

  1. Customs clearance
  2. Market access in Saudi Arabia
  3. Legal sale and distribution

SABER Platform and Conformity Certification

SASO manages conformity assessment through the SABER electronic platform, which serves as the official system for registering regulated products in Saudi Arabia.

For doors, windows, and accessories:

  1. Products must be registered in SABER
  2. Compliance with the SASO Technical Regulation must be demonstrated
  3. A valid CoC must be issued before shipment arrival

Products that are not registered or certified in SABER cannot be cleared through Saudi customs.

Key Requirements to Obtain a CoC for Doors and Windows

To obtain a CoC, manufacturers or importers must submit:

  1. Product technical specifications and datasheets
  2. Product labeling and marking details (Arabic requirements included)
  3. Test reports from ISO/IEC 17025 accredited laboratories
  4. Risk assessment report
  5. Product photos and packaging images
  6. Manufacturing details
  7. Factory audit reports (if required by product category)

Consequences of Non-Compliance

Importing doors, windows, or accessories without a valid CoC can lead to serious consequences, including:

  1. Shipment being held or rejected at Saudi customs
  2. Additional storage and demurrage costs
  3. Delays in construction or project timelines
  4. Financial losses and reputational damage

Ensuring compliance before shipment is the safest and most cost-effective approach.
