The European automotive glass industry is concerned by the increasing number of national certification schemes for automotive glass put in place worldwide.
Glass for Europe calls on the national authorities to continue cooperating in the United Nations framework and reconsider the introduction of unilateral national schemes and trade barriers.
The safety of glass pieces mounted in vehicles is consistently ensured by the uniform provisions of the United Nations Regulations GTR6 and R43. Over the last years, the automotive glass industry witnessed the introduction of new national certification schemes and marking in countries where ECE R43 tests and marking were considered sufficient to import automotive glass.

To materialize, the Renovation Wave needs to be backed by an ambitious revision of both the Energy Efficiency Directive and the Energy Performance of Building Directive.
This is the message that the European flat glass and window industries represented by Glass for Europe, EuroWindoor, ARGE, European Aluminium, EPPA and ES-SO, want to send to EU legislators currently redesigning both the EED and EPBD.
The window sector supports the goal of reducing GHG emissions by 55% but recommends the introduction of an indicative sector-specific sub-target for buildings to ensure that building renovation finally takes off. In this context, public authorities have a major role to play and should lead by example by investing in the renovation of all governmental and public buildings.
