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.
