UV Standard 801
No entries available
UV Standard 801 is an independent testing and certification system. It determines the UV protection capability of textile products. Research has shown that wet fabric is less able to protect from UV than dry fabric and if a textile material is stretched, its UV protection diminishes.
The "Institutes of the International Testing Association for Applied UV Protection" developed the UV standard 801, which addresses the weaknesses of the Australian/New Zealand Standard AS/NZS 4399:1996.
