       1 Test requirements are dependent on the location of the glazing within the vehicle.
       2 Applies only if the glazing is to be used in a location requisite for driving visibility.

8.2.2.  A safety glazing material shall be approved if it meets all the requirements prescribed in the relevant provisions referred to in the paragraphs 8.2.1.1 and 8.2.1.2.
9. Modification or extension of approval of a type of safety glazing material
9.1. Every modification of a type of safety glazing material, or in the case of windscreens every addition of a windscreen to a group, shall be notified to the Type Approval Authority which approved the type of safety glazing material. The department may then either:
9.1.1. Consider that the modifications made are unlikely to have an appreciable adverse effect and, in the case of windscreens, that the new type comes within the approved group of windscreens, and that in any case the safety glazing material still complies with the requirements; or
9.1.2. Require a further test report from the technical service responsible for conducting the tests.
9.2. Communication
9.2.1. Confirmation or refusal of approval (or extension of approval) shall be communicated by the procedure specified in paragraph 5.3. above to the Parties to the Agreement applying this Regulation.
9.2.2. The competent authority which has granted an extension of approval shall enter a serial number on each communication of extension.

10.2.  Special provisions
 The checks referred to in paragraph 2.2. of Appendix 2 of the Agreement shall include compliance with the requirements of Annex 20 to this Regulation.
10.3.  The normal frequency of inspection as referred to in paragraph 2.4. of Appendix 2 of the Agreement shall be one per year.
       11.  Penalties for non-conformity of production
