Where may AS-2 glazing be used?

AS-2 glazing is designed for use in various locations on a vehicle, but it specifically excludes the windshield due to safety regulations and performance standards that require different glazing material for that area. The main characteristic of AS-2 glazing is that it is made from tempered glass, which provides sufficient protection and performance for side and rear windows. In contrast, windshields must have laminated glass to prevent shattering and maintain structural integrity during accidents. This distinction is crucial for ensuring driver and passenger safety. Therefore, the use of AS-2 glazing is permitted anywhere on the vehicle except for the windshield.
