Windshields Save Lives
AGSC Registered Member Companies:
- Are committed to the safety of their customers;
- Replace windshields according to the current ANSI/AGSC/AGRSSTM (Automotive Glass Replacement Safety Standard), North America’s only auto glass replacement standard; and
- Undergo regular and thorough on-site audits conducted by an independent third-party organization to verify that they replace windshields in compliance with the AGRSS™ Standard.
The windshield is one of the most important safety features in a vehicle. In the event of a collision, the windshield is designed to:
- Act as a safety shield for vehicle occupants;
- Support the roof of the vehicle in a rollover;
- Work with the seats, seatbelts and airbags to protect the vehicle occupants in a crash;
- Allow the airbags to fully deploy; and
- Aid in keeping passengers in the vehicle in case of an accident.
Because auto glass is a critical safety component of the vehicle’s occupant crash protection system, great care must be taken to make sure it is replaced correctly. The Auto Glass Safety Council (AGSC) is the definitive authority on safe auto glass installation practices, and your confidence of a safe and proper windshield installation is to know that the auto glass service provider you choose is an AGSC Registered Member Company. AGSC Registered Member Companies make the safety of the consumer their number one priority. They do not only say they replace windshields in compliance with the AGRSS Standard. They prove it!
Please know that your safety is the number-one concern of every AGCS-Registered Member Company.
