New version of IS standard for safety glass

The Indian standard IS 2553 (Part 2) describes the certification of safety glazing of glass used for road transport such as windscreens and window panes. On February 20, 2020 the latest version was published in the Gazette of India and replaced the 1992 version. All safety glazing products falling under this standard must meet the described requirements and will need to be marked with the Standard Mark of the Bureau of Indian standards (BIS).

The updated standard version now includes further glazing materials with additional testing requirements (e.g. abrasion tests and humidity tests).
The standard is linked to the automotive industry standard AIS 037 which describes the procedure for Type Approval and Establishing Conformity of Production for Safety Critical Components.
It will be enforced starting August 2020.
Vehicles and vehicle components for the Indian market require certification in accordance with the Indian AIS (Automotive Industry Standard). The AIS certification process can be a challenging and complex process to navigate alone. Feel free to contact us for a free check, without obligation, if your product is subject to AIS certification.
