UPF Ratings
The fabric for our playclothes range and some of our basics has been tested for UV protection. Where a fabric has been given a UPF rating the following should be noted:
(taken from THE AUSTRALIAN / NEW ZEALAND STANDARD FOR SUN PROTECTIVE CLOTHING - EVALUATION AND CLASSIFICATION - AS/NZS 4399:1996)
"This UPF rating is for the fabric and does not address the amount of protection which is afforded by the design of the article. The manipulations involved in garment manufacture such as stretching and sewing may lower the UPF of the material. Articles which have been designed to cover the maximum area of the body are recommended.The protection offered by this item may be lessened -
- at points where the fabric is in close contact with the skin such as across the shoulders;
- if the fabric is stretched;
- if the fabric is wet; and
- with time, due to the effects of normal wear."
