The Auto Glass Safety Council (AGSC) has been re-approved as an accredited Standards Developer by the American National Standards Institute (ANSI).
AGSC sets the Automotive Glass Replacement Safety Standard™ (AGRSS) using ANSI procedures.
ANSI’s Executive Standards Council approved the reaccreditation. It recently updated its operating procedures for documenting consensus on AGSC-sponsored standards. AGSC’s reaccreditation went into effect on January 15, 2025.
Organizations can voluntarily submit to have ANSI approve their standards-creating processes. ANSI is a private, non-profit organization that regularizes standard-setting procedures in the United States.
“ANSI certification is important to AGSC,” said director of operations Kathy Bimber, “It verifies that AGSC is following ANSI rules, protocols and procedures to produce standards.”
