Labelling sun protective materials
About UVR Index Page | Previous | Next
How can you label products with a UPF rating?
Labeling of sun protective clothing is done according to Australian/New Zealand Standard AS/NZS4399, Sun protective clothing - Evaluation and classification. Companies can have their fabrics tested to determine the UPF ratings then follow the directions in this standard and make their own UPF labels. ARPANSA can provide ready-made UPF rating swing tags made according to AS/NZS4399. The ARPANSA UPF tags are available in packs of 500 tags with UPF ratings of 15, 20, 25, 30, 35, 40, 45, 50 and 50+ depending on the rating of the products to be labeled.
The ARPANSA tags feature one of ARPANSA's trademarks, known as the UPF Certification Trade Mark, and companies that wish to use the ARPANSA UPF tags must first licence use of this trademark. The UPF Certification Trade Mark is widely used to label sun protective products. When this trademark is applied to a product it indicates that ARPANSA has been satisfied that the materials used to construct that product will provide the amount of sun protection stated on the rating label. Refer to the UPF Certification Trade Mark page for further information.
