Unhappy e-marked glass

hi
I contacted a couple of auto glass manufactures only to be told different things.
Both can cut the glass to the required templates and then pass it through the heat treatment to produce the toughened glass required.
The first has told me it doesn't need to be e-marked,this is only for windscreens, and side glass falls into a different category.
The second has told me it doesn't need e-markings as even main stream cars don't have that. But it does needs to be kitemarked and also have a british standards mark etched on to the glass.
One suggestion put forward is to fit perpex for the test (iva) then change after but both the front quarterlites and rear quarterlites on the dino are bonded in.And I'd rather have glass that does what it should just to be on the safe side.
Another suggestion was laminated glass, but I can find nothing regarding fitting this.
Does anyone know where I can obtain a iva manual or download one.
