Most vehicle owners may notice that every piece of automobile glass has a specific trademark as well as a series of letters and numbers. What do these mean and how to identify which factory the glass comes from? In order to help vehicle owners know better about their cars, they can identify glass manufacturers by the following two types of codes on glass through the Certification Code Inquiry Platform of Fuyao ARG official website.

  • DOT: The abbreviation of United States Department of Transportation. According to American law, all vehicles and parts sold and used in the U.S. should have passed the DOT certification of United States Department of Transportation.
  • CCC: The abbreviation of China Compulsory Certification. It is a product conformity assessment system implemented by the Chinese government in compliance with laws and regulations to protect consumers' personal safety, enchance national security and strengthen product quality management.

In the glass trademark, DOT and its following digital serial number represent certification code of U.S. Department of Transportation, and codes starting with E around CCC logo are China Compulsory Safety Certification codes. Feel free to search for the manufacturer of a piece of auto glass by entering DOT or CCC code on Fuyao ARG website. For example, E000001 and DOT459 in the following photo it represents Fuqing Factory of Fuyao Group.

We will continue to expand our database and improve the search experience. You can scan the code on your mobile phone or click on the link (http://www.fygi.com/DOT) to experience it.
