  • 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.).

  • Increased product safety for consumers
  • Greater customer confidence
  • Increase in your company’s credibility
  • Testing by independent institutes
  • More stringent test criteria than most international standards
  • Test requirements are reviewed annually
  • Standard label worldwide
