 21 Provisions regarding the installation of safety glazing on vehicles............

1.  Scope
 This Regulation applies to:
(a) Safety glazing materials intended for installation as windscreens or other panes, or as partitioning, on vehicles of category L with bodywork, M, N, O, and T[2];
(b) Vehicles of category M, N and O with regard to the installation of these materials;
 In both cases, to the exclusion of glazing for lighting and light-signalling devices and instrument panels, of special bullet-proof glazing and of double-windows.
2.  Definitions
 For the purpose of this Regulation:
2.1. "Toughened-glass" means glazing consisting of a single layer of glass which has been subjected to special treatment to increase its mechanical strength and to condition its fragmentation after shattering.
2.2. "Laminated-glass" means glazing consisting of two or more layers of glass held together by one or more interlayer of plastics material; it may be:
2.2.1. "Ordinary laminated glass", when none of the layers of glass of which it is composed has been treated; or
