sch.1-sec.44 Window tinting

Glazing used in a windscreen of a motor vehicle must have a luminous transmittance of at least 70%. Glazing used in a windscreen of a motor vehicle must not be coated in a way that reduces its luminous transmittance. However, subsections (1) and (2) do not apply to the greater of the following areas of a windscreen— the area above the highest point of the windscreen that is swept by a windscreen wiper; the upper 10% of the windscreen. Glazing used in a window or interior partition of a motor vehicle must have a luminous transmittance of at least 70%. Glazing used in a window or interior partition of a motor vehicle, other than rear glazing, may be coated to achieve a luminous transmittance of not less than 35%. If at least 1 rear vision mirror is fitted to each side of a motor vehicle, the motor vehicle’s rear glazing may be coated to achieve a luminous transmittance of at least 20%. However, a motor vehicle’s rear glazing may be coated to achieve a luminous transmittance of 0% or more if— at least 1 rear vision mirror is fitted to each side of the vehicle; and the vehicle is a goods vehicle; and the vehicle has— at least 4 wheels; or at least 3 wheels and a GVM of more than 1t. The luminous transmittance requirements mentioned in subsections (5) , (6) and (7) apply to a motor vehicle instead of the corresponding requirements stated in a second edition ADR or third edition ADR. Glazing used in a windscreen, window or interior partition of a motor vehicle that has been coated to reduce its luminous transmittance must not have a reflectance of more than 10%. In this section— glazing — means material that may be used in a windscreen, window or interior partition of a motor vehicle through which the vehicle’s driver can see the road; but does not include a coating added after manufacture of the material. luminous transmittance , for glazing or a coating on glazing, means the amount of light that can pass through the glazing as a percentage of the amount of light that would be transmitted if the glazing or coating were absent. rear glazing , for a motor vehicle, means glazing used in a window or interior partition of the motor vehicle located behind the normal driving position of the vehicle. (sch.1-sec.44-ssec.1) Glazing used in a windscreen of a motor vehicle must have a luminous transmittance of at least 70%. (sch.1-sec.44-ssec.2) Glazing used in a windscreen of a motor vehicle must not be coated in a way that reduces its luminous transmittance. (sch.1-sec.44-ssec.3) However, subsections (1) and (2) do not apply to the greater of the following areas of a windscreen— the area above the highest point of the windscreen that is swept by a windscreen wiper; the upper 10% of the windscreen. (sch.1-sec.44-ssec.4) Glazing used in a window or interior partition of a motor vehicle must have a luminous transmittance of at least 70%. (sch.1-sec.44-ssec.5) Glazing used in a window or interior partition of a motor vehicle, other than rear glazing, may be coated to achieve a luminous transmittance of not less than 35%. (sch.1-sec.44-ssec.6) If at least 1 rear vision mirror is fitted to each side of a motor vehicle, the motor vehicle’s rear glazing may be coated to achieve a luminous transmittance of at least 20%. (sch.1-sec.44-ssec.7) However, a motor vehicle’s rear glazing may be coated to achieve a luminous transmittance of 0% or more if— at least 1 rear vision mirror is fitted to each side of the vehicle; and the vehicle is a goods vehicle; and the vehicle has— at least 4 wheels; or at least 3 wheels and a GVM of more than 1t. (sch.1-sec.44-ssec.8) The luminous transmittance requirements mentioned in subsections (5) , (6) and (7) apply to a motor vehicle instead of the corresponding requirements stated in a second edition ADR or third edition ADR. (sch.1-sec.44-ssec.9) Glazing used in a windscreen, window or interior partition of a motor vehicle that has been coated to reduce its luminous transmittance must not have a reflectance of more than 10%. (sch.1-sec.44-ssec.10) In this section— glazing — means material that may be used in a windscreen, window or interior partition of a motor vehicle through which the vehicle’s driver can see the road; but does not include a coating added after manufacture of the material. luminous transmittance , for glazing or a coating on glazing, means the amount of light that can pass through the glazing as a percentage of the amount of light that would be transmitted if the glazing or coating were absent. rear glazing , for a motor vehicle, means glazing used in a window or interior partition of the motor vehicle located behind the normal driving position of the vehicle.
