Meaning and boundaries
Safety glazing is a compliance designation, not a synonym for any strong glass. Laminated or tempered constructions must satisfy the applicable standard and application requirements.
Why it matters in glass restoration
Restoration must not obscure permanent marks, change required performance, or imply that an unverified lite remains compliant after damage or treatment.
