History of the AGRSS Standard

AGSC History

The Automotive Glass Replacement Safety Standard™ (AGRSS) was created by the Auto Glass Safety Council pursuant to the procedures of the American National Standards Institute (ANSI). AGSC serves as the Secretariat for the Standard.

The AGRSS Standard was first developed in 1999 by the AGSC AGRSS Standards Committee. It was amended in 2002, 2015, 2018 and 2022 and is maintained as an ANSI continuous maintenance standard. The current version of the Standard is referenced as ANSI/AGSC/AGRSS 005-2022.

The Standard represents the auto glass replacement industry’s current best practices as determined by a broad-based balanced committee of auto glass replacement practitioners, trainers, suppliers and other interested parties. It embodies the expertise of the AGSC AGRSS Standards Committee members whose hundreds of years of combined experience has involved thousands of actual auto glass replacements.
