How To Identify Sunscreen Clothing And Promote Standard Certification In Various Countries

With the improvement of living standards, people pay more and more attention to their own lives. Sunscreen in hot summer is an obvious manifestation. In order to block the strong sunlight, people wear a Hat , to use various sunscreen cosmetics, and to quietly rise on the Internet this summer and sell light Sunscreen clothing 。

However, how to judge whether the sun protection clothing really has a strong sun protection function, as claimed by the business, may be that most ordinary consumers can only judge from the color when asked. Just like a random street survey conducted by a TV station, some people believe that the lighter the sun protection effect is, the better, while others believe that the deeper the sun protection effect is, the better. Just spin In terms of products, what factors will affect the sunscreen effect? How can consumers buy sunscreen clothes without paying? This requires some knowledge textile Common sense of sunscreen.

　　 clothing The sunscreen effect mainly depends on the sunscreen effect of the outer fabric used. The color, thickness and density of the fabric are the three basic factors affecting the sunscreen performance. The darker and thicker the fabric, the better the sunscreen effect. The sunscreen effect can also be improved by other processes and finishing methods, such as adding special nano particles (increasing the reflection and scattering of ultraviolet light) in the spinning link of chemical fibers used in fabrics, or using ultraviolet finishing agents to treat fabrics, or coating materials.

Regular clothes with special sunscreen function are usually used in clothes The clear UPF value is marked on the label. The sunscreen factor (UPF) of the fabric shows the sunscreen intensity of the textile, and the UPF value marked on the textile indicates that the textile can extend the sunscreen time of the skin against ultraviolet radiation in a natural state (without any protection). The higher the UPF value, the better the anti ultraviolet radiation to the skin.

Some countries and regions have launched textile For example, Australia and New Zealand (AS/NZS4399 ∶ 1996), the United States (AATCC 183 ∶ 1998), the United Kingdom (BS7914 ∶ 1998), China (GB/T18830) and Europe (EN13758-1) are all tested on new textiles without stretching and drying. As a non-governmental organization, the International Testing Association for Applied UV Protection also launched the UVStandard 801 standard and certification. This test is carried out under the condition that the textile is stretched and wetted, and based on the strongest ultraviolet ray and the most sensitive skin type. Compared with the national standards mentioned above, this standard applies to a wide range of product types, and the evaluation results can better reflect the state of the textile in actual use.

　　 Fabric And clothing can be authorized to use special tags after obtaining UVStandard801 certification. With this logo, consumers can easily identify the real anti ultraviolet ability of the products they buy.

As one of the founders of the International Association for the Application and Testing of Ultraviolet Protection, TESTEX Switzerland Textile Testing Co., Ltd. has been committed to the research of textiles and their testing fields, and has accepted the testing and certification of textiles in the world.

In July this year, Jinba (China) Warp Knitting Co., Ltd. successfully obtained the UVStandard 801 certificate of fabric at TESTEX.
