AS NZS 4399 Sunscreen Clothing, Standard Test for Evaluation and Classification

EUROLAB laboratory provides testing and compliance service within the scope of AS NZS 4399 standard. This standard specifies the requirements for determining the nominal ultraviolet protection factor of sunscreen textiles, clothing and other personal clothing (such as hats) worn close to the skin.

It also specifies appropriate detailed labeling requirements. It does not include sunscreen products for topical application to human skin, architectural or horticultural fabrics such as canopies, sunglasses, or items that provide protection at a distance from the skin, such as umbrellas or shade structures. It does not cover protection from ultraviolet radiation sources other than the sun.

Products such as umbrellas and shade structures that are not close to the skin will provide less protection than indicated by the grade of the material from which the product is made, due to the amount of scattered radiation that may enter. From the edges of the product The amount of this radiation will vary according to the area of ​​the product and the distance of the product from the body. This standard is therefore not suitable for the evaluation of such items.
