State of New Jersey Medical Sun-Screening Guidelines:
With a Medical Sun-Screening license you can apply window film to your front windows based on these guidelines.
Windshield - You can apply a clear (UV) film which has a visible light transmission of 70% and a visible light reflection of 8%. What this means. This means that you can apply clear film to your windshied which will decrease the amount of light transmission by 30%. This film will provide a 99% UV light reduction.
Front Windows - You can apply a shade window film which has a 60% visible light transmission and 8% visible light reflection. What this means. This means that you can apply a window film that will block 40% of visible light transmission. A 60% window film is a very light colored film which will block 99% of UV rays and provide you with minimal darkening of the glass. Please note that a 60% window film is lighter than your typical "smoke" film.
Each piece of glass that is tinted for a medical purpose must have a small decal with the installers information applied. This will be done for each piece of glass.
*Please be aware that NJ DMV Inspection Stations use a window film meter to test the window film during your cars inspection. If these guidelines are not followed your car will fail the inspection.
