Bucheon-si Regulates Excessive Tinting on Passenger Vans Used for Child Transportation
[Asia Economy Reporter Park Hyesook] Bucheon City, Gyeonggi Province announced on the 21st that it will conduct visible light transmittance (tinting) inspections on passenger vehicles used for transporting children to prevent child safety accidents such as vehicle entrapment accidents.
Visible light refers to the degree to which light passes through a window, and according to the amended Automobile Management Act, a visible light transmittance of 100% means the highest transparency.
In this inspection, if the visible light transmittance of integrated child transport vehicles is below 70%, corrective measures must be taken and a re-inspection is required.
A Bucheon City official urged, "Vehicle owners are asked to actively participate in vehicle inspections for the safety of children."
Meanwhile, if any disadvantages such as fines are imposed after the vehicle inspection, the city has decided to extend the validity period of the vehicle inspection or reduce fines during that period upon application by the vehicle owner.
