Windscreen Replacement Standards: Discussion

Mr. Heiner Herz:
The findings are quite frightening internationally because this alarm bell has not sounded in any of our neighbouring countries. Part of the solution is to follow the UK example of accreditation of automobile technicians. This is called ATA accreditation and we have implemented it in Ireland. It is based on proper workmanship and practices. These initiatives result in a better system and improved quality.
