The National Windshield Repair Division (NWRD) met in early June in Orlando as Auto Glass Week ’21 was winding down. The new ANSI Repair of Laminated Auto Glass Standards (ROLAGS 2) Committee and the ANSI AGRSS Standards Committee convened as well.

The ROLAGS 2 Standards Committee, which had had a fledgling initial meeting during Auto Glass Week 2019, became fully constituted at this one. Linda Rollinson of Superior Auto Glass in Tampa, Fla., was elected chair. Operating procedures were put into place and new members were added. The Committee voted to adopt the current ROLAGS Standard and to begin work on ROLAGS 2 immediately.

In addition to ROLAGS 2 and the AGRSS standards committees, NWRD’s executive committee and AGSC’s education and marketing committees met, as did the AGSC board of directors.

The AGSC Advanced Driver Assistance System (ADAS) Committee also met. The committee reviewed a series of checklists that had been created to help technicians use ADAS properly and to troubleshoot when items go wrong. The ADAS Committee also readied one checklist for possible incorporation in the AGRSS Standards.

“We want to make sure that AGSC/NWRD members have the most accurate information, and the best tools available, to aid in proper calibrations,” said ADAS committee chair Jacques Navant of Don’s Mobile Glass in Modesto, CA.

A number of other committees met during Auto Glass Week as well, including both ANSI committees. The AGRSS Standards Committee tackled nomenclature first with a long and impassioned discussion of whether ADAS work should be known as “calibration” or “recalibration.” A final nod was given to the word “calibration.” A detailed review of possible additional Standard language concerning calibration followed. The language will be released for public review once it is approved by members.
