Vehicle Window Tinting Regulations in South Africa

Understanding Vehicle Window Tinting Regulations in South Africa

In the early 1990s, South Africa announced specific window tinting regulations to ensure that safety remained a top priority when it came to such tints on all cars. The product was safety tested by the South African Bureau of Standards (SABS) to ensure that safety remained a priority and industry standards were adhered to. It was decided that all vehicles could utilise a 35% tint. However, this, of course, did not apply to windscreens which needed to retain full visibility at all times. Regulations also stipulated that all window films and tints are void of bubbles, and this is why it is imperative to get window film fitted with a qualified fitment expert like the team at Electronic Fitment Centre.

Thus, when it comes to window film, it is best to opt for a 0% tint or a 35% tint. Both varieties offer fantastic safety benefits and will keep the glass in place in the event of an accident or smash and grab. This ensures that your belongings stay safe and that you can get to the point of safety without a huge gaping hole in your car. This can also save you a great deal of money and prevent glass shards from ruining your vehicle’s interior.
