This SAE Recommended Practice provides guidelines for automotive vehicle glass replacement shops and their personnel in the correct replacement practices, materials, and procedures for stationary safety glazing components. The design of today’s automotive vehicles and the development of new technology can directly influence occupant safety and vehicle structural integrity. The correct installation of stationary safety glazing components can contribute directly to occupant safety and structural integrity of the vehicle.
A relatively new method for retaining fixed glass in these vehicles is with the use of a urethane sealant. This material is used because of its ability to furnish the necessary strength by providing the required glass retention to comply with Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard No. 212. Utilizing the glass in this manner improves the overall body structural integrity. “An intent of FMVSS No. 212 is to reduce occupant ejection allowed by windshield bond separation. Windshield bond separation rather than penetration through the glazing is the most common ejection route for fatally injured occupants who are ejected through the windshield.” (See Ref. 1.) For this reason, vehicle manufacturers that utilize a urethane bonding system for glass retention, require that any replacement glass be installed with the same type of sealant that is applied during assembly of the vehicle.
The scope of this SAE performance standard is to define the test method by which the direct solar and visible transmittance of safety glazing materials for road vehicles shall be measured. Adherence to this performance standard will facilitate writing, use, and referencing of reports by government, industry, and other organizations.

This SAE Recommended Practice is intended to cover plastic safety glazing for use in motor vehicles and motor vehicle equipment. Nominal specifications for thickness, flatness, curvature, size, and fabrication details are presented principally for the guidance of body engineers and designers. For additional information on plastic safety glazing materials for use in motor vehicles and motor vehicle equipment, please see SAE J674.

The scope of this SAE performance standard is to provide a simple, practical, and broadly applicable test procedure for appraising luminous Illuminant A reflectance of reflecting safety glazing materials for road vehicles. This SAE performance standard, which provides a simple test procedure widely used in the optics field, may be used to measure the reflectivity which films applied to safety glazing materials for road vehicles may enhance. This test procedure applies to conditions where feasibility, rather than accuracy of measurement, is of prime importance. Measurements can be made outside laboratories in a quality control environment and in similar applications, when glazings, instead of small test specimens, have to be tested.
