SABER Certificate for Float Glass
Float glass needs a SABER Product Certificate, and every shipment needs a SABER Shipment Certificate.
Overview
This page covers float glass sheets, clear or tinted.
Float glass falls under the Technical Regulation for Building Materials, Part 2: Insulation and Cladding Materials. Before the first shipment, an approved certification body reviews your test reports and issues a SABER Product Certificate. Each shipment then needs its own SABER Shipment Certificate before it can clear Saudi customs.
Documents required
SABER certificate type: Type 3 (type approval plus production assurance). After type approval, your factory needs a certified product safety management system. The certification body visits the factory before approval, which lasts three years, and then carries out periodic and unannounced audits.
