Two reference samples are included with each tint meter. One is lighter (65% to 80%), one darker (20% to 35%). Your meter should read within plus or minus 2% of the printed number on each sample. To verify that the tint meter is working properly, take a reading of the reference samples before use.
Like radar, most states requiring yearly recertification of police equipment. Yearly purchasing of a set of replacement reference samples fulfills state recertification regulations. There is no need to send the meter back to the factory for recertification.

Each Tint Meter reference set is individually checked on an NIST (National Institute of Standards and Technology)traceable spectrophotometer. They are accurate to within ±1% of the printed value on each label.
