12、part of American National Standard ANSI/AGSC/AGRSS 003-2015.)The Automotive Glass Replacement Safety StandardTM(AGRSS) was created bythe Auto Glass Safety Council (AGSC) working under the auspices of the AmericanNational Standards Institute (ANSI). AGSC also serves as secretariat for the stan-dard.T
13、he AGRSS Standard represents the windshield replacement industrys best practic-es as complied under ANSI guidelines by a balanced committee of windshield re-placement practitioners, suppliers and other interested parties.This standard contains an industry consensus of recommended terminology, defini
14、-tions, process and procedures. These recommendations reflect the expertise of theAGSC Standards Committee members who hold a combined experience of hundredsof years and many thousands of actual windshield replacements.This standard contains one annex. Annex A is informative and is not considered pa
