Safety Standards for Car Windshields

NEWARK, N.J. - Sept. 2, 2019 - PRLog -- For drivers out on the road everyday, safety is first and foremost of concern. It is one of the deciding factors when purchasing a vehicle. Ever wonder about the standards for safety for your car and most importantly, your windshield?

Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standards (FMVSS) are U.S. federal regulations specifying design, construction, performance, and durability requirements for motor vehicles. As well as safety-related components, systems, and design features. These safety standards are set by the National Highway Traffic Safety Association.

When replacing a windshield, these standards are crucial. Because the windshield is the most important safety restraint system in a vehicle, it's critical that the windshield not come out in an accident. If that were to occur, the passenger compartment would be severely compromised, resulting in serious injury.

As a result, every windshield installation must adhere to the FMVSS. The only way to meet these standards is by strictly following the vehicle manufacturers' preferred installation methods.

In addition, the Automotive Glass Replacement Safety Standard (AGRSS) is a safe and dependable standard for replacing car windshields. The AGRSS addresses crucial areas in the installation process.Before any technician installs a replacement windshield, they must be fully qualified for the task they are assigned to perform. This includes performing full cutout procedures, utilizing the correct glass and applying the necessary approved adhesives that provide the proper safe drive-away times. Technician qualifications include completion of a training program and an ongoing education.
