Important Accreditation Information for the Consumer
The Australian Glass and Glazing Association (AGGA) has recently introduced an accredited installer system for the glazing of safety and laminated safety glass. All members undergo training and testing of their knowledge of the Australian Standard for Selection and Installation of Glass in Buildings (AS1288). These installers are skilled tradespeople who have agreed to a set code of conduct and who have qualified to apply an AGGA certification label to any laminated safety glazing undertaken.
