Sun protective clothing in Australia and the Australian/New Zealand standard: an overview
Abstract
Clothing has been part of the sun protection strategy for many years. However, it is only recently that studies have been undertaken to investigate the protectiveness of fabrics and to place clinical advice on a sound scientific basis. Fabrics can now be rated and an ultraviolet protection factor assigned. Several factors influence photoprotection such as construction, stretch, hydration, colour, fibre type and various manufacturing processes. In 1996 the Australian/New Zealand Standard for sun protective clothing was published. This is the first of its kind in the world.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
