Auto Windscreens Achieves SERMI Certification Milestone

Thursday, 16 Apr 2026

Auto Windscreens is pleased to confirm that it has successfully achieved SERMI certification, marking an important step forward in its commitment to compliance, security, and technical excellence.

With the SERMI scheme officially live from 1 April 2026, this certification ensures that Auto Windscreens is fully authorised to access vehicle manufacturers’ security-related repair and maintenance information. Approval was granted on 26 March 2026 and remains valid through to 31 March 2031.

The introduction of SERMI represents a significant shift across the automotive aftermarket. Only approved businesses are now legally permitted to carry out certain repairs and calibrations involving secure vehicle data. By achieving certification ahead of the deadline, Auto Windscreens ensures there is no disruption to customers and partners who rely on its services.

For customers, this provides complete confidence that:

  • Services will continue without interruption
  • Work involving security systems is fully compliant
  • They are working with a verified and authorised repair partner
  • The business is equipped for future vehicle technologies

In practical terms, this means Auto Windscreens and Auto Calibrate are fully prepared to support advanced driver assistance system (ADAS) calibration and more complex, security-linked repairs safely and securely.

Claire Church, Director of Service Delivery, commented:

“Achieving SERMI certification ahead of the scheme going live reflects the hard work our teams have put in to stay ahead of industry change. It ensures we can continue to support our partners with compliant, secure access to manufacturer systems now and into the future.”

This latest certification sits alongside Auto Windscreens’ existing BS10125 BSI Kitemark accreditation, further strengthening its position as a trusted and expert partner within the automotive industry.

Auto Windscreens remains committed to delivering the highest standards of service, safety, and compliance, today and in the future.
