Hi All,
From the price difference in tints - just had this question in my head about windows / glass tinting. How do anyone find out if we got the tint we paid for.
If the cancer council approved one is what applied - if that is what paid for….
Thanks in advance

I believe that "endorse" is a synonym for "approve of". To endorse something is to give one's approval to it. Is there any legal or metaphysical difference?
Edit:For example, some companies reference Cancer Council Window Film as tint that is "tested and approved by the Cancer Council". http://www.sgfleet.com/au/corporate-fleet/product/vehicle-op…
Just before leaving for a several hour drive, apply sunscreen to your right arm, but leave a patch of skin with no sunscreen. Drive for a couple hours with your arm in the sunlight and see if there's any difference…
At the end of the day, you might have to trust the tint company to some degree.
Automotive glass is uv cut and laminated so filters all uv light regardless of tint.
really ? so no need sun protection when driving then
I don't think the Cancer Council approves specifics glass tints - or if they do I haven't heard of it. They do have a position statement on glass tinting with some guidelines.
The Cancer Council do endorse a range of products, but this is typically achieved by the company who sells the product seeking endorsement, doing some relevant UV testing (through someone like ARPANSA) and then giving the Cancer Council a bunch of money to "endorse" their goods. It's mainly marketing though - what you're really after is the UV protection that the tint/film provides and if you're really concerned ask for some research/certification that shows the protection levels.
