its maximum 10mm in the swept area 40mm elsewhere, so if it doesnt spread beyond the gauge used then it may be an advisory. as already said though it needs repairing and may cost nothingdamage to screen.
In wet weather the chip can distort vision.
And it doesnt do your blades any good either.
There is a maximum size before it fails.

Fail criteria for windscreen damage is quite clear as per the diagram
If the damage is of the sizes quoted, then a fail will be the result, there is no question of "IF" it obstructs the drivers view to be answered

[HI]You will find that repairs that close to the edge of the screen are often refused, [/HI]another 1" or so in and he'd have had a go, it matter little to the operative if you ave a new screen or not
Hi Geo
I am also a tester an AE. Just been on refresher course and much time was spent on windscreen inspection. Method of inspection in manual is to sit in drivers seat and asses drivers view of road. Therefore in Vosa opinion if damage is not in drivers view of road it is not testable. Lots of other contentious issues as well !!

Hi Geo
Wasn't expecting such a venomous reply. I am new here so please be gentle. Have been testing for 20 years and so have a similar view of Vosa to you. But in this case I tend to agree with them. The manual states that the tester must inspect the drivers view of the road through the swept area of the wipers, ie if it's not in the drivers view of the road you don't inspect it. Obviously you would advise any other damage.
