these technologies are assuming a monopolizing role within the industry. The project has already been initiated with three messages being selected to develop and pilot so that CIECA can review and refine their results in order to select and prioritize existing BMS messages in order to add the mobile and cloud versions of their packages. CIECA’s comprehensive suite of business messages is intended to improve the industry’s efficiency as these messages cover a wide range of business functions that include something for
every segment of the industry. Toby Chess then lead a Technical Presentation entitled “Everything You Wanted to Know about Glass and More.” reminding attendees that the main functions of windshields in modern vehicles is the vehicle structure, to be part of the frontal air-bag system, and to restrain passengers in the vehicle. He continued to discuss the types of vehicle glass, indicating that the labels, or “bugs,” on the glass indicate the type of glass used; only A1 glass should be used for windshields as it is
laminated and provides at least 70% light transmission, making it the clearest automotive glass used. Chess reviewed the differences between laminated and tempered glass and suggested that since modern vehicles are designed with the windshield bug being a key structural component, it is imperative that it be constructed and repaired accordingly for consumer safety. He discussed the differences between OE and aftermarket glass, noting that AFM glass cannot duplicate OE glass; it must possess a
different curvature, thickness or composition. After discussing the differences between adhesive and cohesive failures, he raised attendees’ eyebrowsl by stating that there are no federal specifications about the type of glass used as federal regulations are based only on the process of installation and performance in an accident. After ascertaining interest in having a panel investigate these issues with automotive glass, to be shared in November, Avery adjourned the meeting.
