Textiles - Solar UV protective properties
Always observe the general instruction on page 11 - 14.
This safety garment is in accordance with the requirements of the
European Technical Standard
EN ISO 13758-2 Textiles - Solar UV protective properties
Results of the latest international research have shown that a longer
stress on the skin through solar radiation can have short and long-
term adverse health effects. The ultraviolet radiation considered as a
main cause of health damage can be considerably limited by clothing.
The state of the protection offered by clothing depends on various
factors, such as the fabric properties and the performance of the
garment itself.
According to the standard, the lowest value of the UV-protection must
be > 40 sein.
Measured values of this PPE:
UV-protection factor: > 50
means that 97 % of the harmful UV radiation is being blocked by the
fabric. The clothing thus offers a very high level of protection.
UV-A sun-protection (ultraviolet solar radiation with a wavelength
between 315 - 400 nm):
UV-B sun-protection (ultraviolet solar radiation with a wavelength
between 280 - 315 nm):
Only covered areas of the skin are protected by clothing. Uncovered
body parts should be protected by wearing a hat and/or using a sun-
screen protection with highest possible UV-protection factor.
The protection offered by this PPE can be reduced by continuous
use, in the case of expanding or in wet condition.
