BIS Certification For Safety Glass -Specification Part 2 For Road Transport IS 2553 (Part 2):2019

Introduction 

Safety glass used in automotive and road transport applications ensures passenger protection along with visibility in vehicles ranging from cars, buses to armored vehicles. To regulate the quality and set benchmark performance criteria for such glass, Bureau of Indian Standards has introduced IS 2553 (Part 2):2019 certification.

It specifies testing across parameters like high velocity impact resistance, mechanical strength post harsh conditions exposure and optical qualities among other tests to assess durability and suitability for on-road usage. Compliance to these standards ensures driver and passenger safety through performance enhancing features of certified automotive safety glass like:

- Preventing glass fragmentation upon high impact crashes 

- Distributing force of collision impact through glass

- Providing time for airbag activation by not splintering instantly

- Ensuring adequate visibility post collision avoiding obscured view

However, the demonstration of consistent compliance necessitates significant testing infrastructure and specific auto industry expertise with the certification bodies. This makes it imperative for automotive glass manufacturers to collaborate with experienced consultants like EVTL India.  

MANDATORY TESTING

• Testing mechanical strength post exposure to conditions like humidity, UV, temperature

• Testing samples for optical clarity, luminosity, permissible coloration 

• Testing chemical resistance against alkalis, acids, detergents

• Testing high velocity impact resistance using air cannon apparatus 

• Testing penetration resistance from small missiles
