AS 2080:2019 Safety glazing for land vehicles
Standards Australia
Supersedes: AS/NZS 2080:2006 Safety glazing for land vehicles
Draft Designation: DR AS 2080:2019This Standard was prepared by the Standards Australia Committee ME-055, Safety Glass for Land Transport, to supersede AS/NZS 2080:2006, Safety glazing for land vehicles. After consultation with stakeholders in both countries, Standards Australia and Standards New Zealand decided to develop this Standard as an Australian Standard rather than an Australian/New Zealand Standard.
In general, the performance requirements in this Standard conform to UN Reg. 43, Uniform provisions concerning the approval of safety glazing materials, with some significant differences. This Standard
adopts the minimum 70 % luminous transmittance requirements of ADR 8/01, Safety Glazing Material, through the primary vision area of windscreens.
This Standard has been revised to align with the current Australian Design Rules.The terms “normative” and “informative” are used in Standards to define the application of the appendix to which they apply. A “normative” appendix is an integral part of a Standard, whereas an “informative” appendix is only for information and guidance.
This Standard specifies requirements and includes methods of test for flat and curved toughened and laminated safety glazing for windscreens and other glazing for land vehicles Originated as AS R1 - 1941. Previous edition AS/NZS 2080:2006. Revised and redesignated as AS 2080:2019.
