19.01.2022 Is it safe to drive with a cracked windscreen? In the UK drivers have begun flocking the roads as the national lockdown ends. Cracked windscreens will always come as a nuisance, as they obscure part of a drivers' view and will ultimately result in a costly replacement.... Some people may attempt to avoid paying up by tolerating a cracked windscreen, but this is a fatal error. Driving with a cracked windscreen is both dangerous and illegal.

13.01.2022 UPDATE Clarification of NSW Licensing Requirements from 01 November 2021. Business License... In NSW if a business undertakes motor vehicle repair work, it requires a motor vehicle repairer’s licence. As from 1 November 2021, this will also include a business that undertakes auto glass repairs. If a business undertakes auto glass repairs only and does not already hold a motor vehicle repairers licence, the business must obtain a motor vehicle repairer’s licence by 1 November 2021. Visit the motor vehicle repairers page on the NSW Fair Trading website for further information about the obligations of motor vehicle repairers and how to apply for a licence Tradesperson Certificate In NSW a tradesperson who does motor vehicle repair work, requires a tradesperson’s certificate. As from 1 November 2021, this will also include auto glaziers, an auto glazier who wants to continue in this trade will need to obtain the minimum CERT ll qualification and hold a tradesperson certificate. This means Auto Glaziers in NSW should apply for a tradesperson’s certificate by the 1 August 2021 to allow time for their application to be processed. Visit the motor vehicle tradesperson’s page for further information about licensing requirements for tradesperson’s certificates including the qualification requirements for Auto Glass Repairs and the scope of work permitted under this repair class. Note: A tradesperson’s certificate does not authorise the holder to carry on a business of an auto glass repairer. In order to carry on an auto glass repair business, a person must also hold a motor vehicle repairer licence and the repair work must be undertaken by a person with the relevant tradesperson’s certificate.

13.01.2022 UPDATE Motor Dealers and Repairers Amendment (Tradesperson's Certificates) Regulation 2020 To ALL our NSW Members... Following investigations, we can confirm the following, The proposed changes in regards to licensing and qualification requirements for the Auto Glazing Industry are currently subject of a Statutory Review of the Motor Dealers and Repairers Act 2013. This discussion paper was released on the 03/07/2020 by Kevin Anderson, MP Minister for Better Regulation, and Innovation, and we have until the 14/08/2020 to make submissions in relation to the questions raised. The AGA will be preparing a submission in response to the discussion paper and encourage relevant feedback from all our members and industry stakeholders. A written advice has also been sent to the Ministers office highlighting the following: As an industry we understand the need for change that will establish standards of conduct, licencing and a regulatory framework for auto glaziers to protect consumers and the industry, but due to the precedent of being a non-regulated industry, with no current access to the proposed training qualification (i.e. CERT II in Automotive Glazing Technology) there will need to be an implementation time frame allowing for a stepped approach of introducing the regulatory requirements. This will ensure that skills and experience of our industry participants are recognised at all entry levels. In addition, the AGA will be petitioning members for their input and are actively working with TAFE NSW for the delivery of a streamlined training package. The AGA would like to recognise the contribution and assistance received from Rowena Hayman of MJR Auto Glass who has assisted the AGA in sourcing and deciphering this critical information for our members and the industry.
