Are there standards or guidelines related to UVR protection?

Increasing public awareness and interest in UVR protection is due in part to the requirements for occupational protection of outdoor workers as well as the provision of sun protection for the recreational market. In 1989 the National Health and Medical Research Council (NHRMC) issued a standard for occupational exposure limits to ultraviolet radiation, based on International Radiation Protection Association (IRPA) and International Commission on Non-Ionizing Radiation Protection (ICNIRP) limits. An ARPANSA radiation protection standard for occupational exposure to UVR based on the NHRMC standard is in preparation.
