TEXT: Thank you for your letter of January 30, 1974, concerning requirements for replacement glazing material in trucks and buses.

Glazing materials for use in motor vehicles must comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard No. 205, Glazing Materials, which incorporates the American National Standards Institute Standard No. Z26.1-1966. Section S6 of Standard No. 205 specifies requirements for certification and marking.

Paragraph S6.4 and S6.5 of Standard No. 205 covers the specific question you asked. If you cut a section of glass to which this standard applies, for use in a motor vehicle or comper, you are required to mark that glass in accordance with section 6 of Standard No. Z26.1-1966 and to certify that it complies with the standard in accordance with section 114 of the National Traffic and Motor Vehicle Safety Act.

I am enclosing a copy of Standard No. 205, Standard No. Z26.1-1966 and section 114 of the National Traffic and Motor Vehicle Safety Act. If I can be of further assistance, do not hesitate to contact me.
