Standard Practice for Preparation of Textiles Prior to Ultraviolet (UV) Transmission Testing

Importancia y uso:

5.1 The significance of this practice is that a textile intended to be labeled as UV-protective, which will ultimately be submitted for UV transmittance testing, will be in a state that simulates its condition at the end of two years of normal seasonal use. UV resistance of a textile is dynamic and will constantly change. The simulated conditions are to be regarded as only estimates of the changes that will occur to the textile in two years of normal seasonal use.

5.2 To learn the quantitative measure of UV transmission or blocking, reference AATCC TM183.

5.3 To label textiles as UV-protective, reference Specification D6603.
