What is UV STANDARD 801?
With the comprehensive UV STANDARD 801 testing programme, we determine your product’s level of UV protection according to the most stringent specifications.
A product is only awarded the UV STANDARD 801 label if the following criteria are met:
- The product protects against solar radiation similar to that found at the height of summer in Melbourne, Australia.
- The product is suitable for the relevant human skin type.
- The product meets all the UV STANDARD 801 requirements in both a new and a used condition (stretched, wet, mechanical wear and tear, laundering etc.).
What are the advantages of UV STANDARD 801 certification?
- Higher product safety for consumers based on clothing and shading materials being tested in a wet and stretched state.
- More stringent test criteria than most international standards
- Reliable proof of the product properties by an independent, neutral testing institute
- Better marketing opportunities for your products through more vital customer trust
- Benefit from our experience: OETI is a founding member of the International Test Association for Applied UV Protection.
- Increase your company’s credibility
- Test requirements are reviewed annually
- Standard label worldwide
- Regular quality assurance
