The Certified Automotive Parts Association (CAPA) Technical Committee has approved the CAPA 801 Standard for the certification of automotive glass. The standard—which CAPA describes as the first in the industry for independently produced aftermarket glass—currently applies to windshields but may be expanded to include side and rear windows in the future. The standard contains requirements for materials, dimension and appearance. CAPA is an independent non-profit standard-setting and certification organization for automotive crash parts.
