Hope this helps.
Correct. Had front windows tinted on a mk1 focus. Got pulled by VOSA and had a prohibition order slapped on the car! Had to take it back in to be retested and the standard glass was within 0.5% of the legal limit!
Really not worth the hassle, seems that they are clamping down on it a lot more lately too!
