We can understand the physical meaning of UPF in this way. For example, a UPF value of 50 means that 1\/50 of the ultraviolet rays can penetrate the fabric.  <\/p>\n<p>\n The higher the UPF value, the better the UV protection effect.  However, the national standard for textiles with high UPF value is 50+, that is, UPF&gt;50.  Because after UPF is greater than 50, the impact on the human body is completely negligible.  <\/p>\n<p>\n The standard &#8220;Evaluation of UV Protection Performance of Textiles&#8221; promulgated by the General Administration of Quality Supervision, Inspection and Quarantine stipulates: <\/p>\n<p>\n A. Only when the UPF value of the sample is greater than 30 and the transmittance of UVA is less than 5%, can it be called an &#8220;UV-resistant product&#8221;. These two conditions are indispensable.  This is a measure of whether a product is a &#8220;UV protection product.&#8221;  <\/p>\n<p>\n B. Anti-UV products should have three aspects on the label: <\/p>\n<p>\n 1. National standard number: GB\/T18830-2009<\/p>\n<p>\n 2. UPF value: <\/p>\n<p>\n 3. 30+, or 50+<\/p>\n<p>\n Note: <\/p>\n<p>\n If the measured UPF value is greater than 30 and the UVA transmittance is less than 5%, the mark is: 30+<\/p>\n<p>\n If the measured UPF value is greater than 50 and the UVA transmittance is less than 5%, the mark is: 50+<\/p>\n<p>\n The protective properties provided by this product may be reduced with long-term use and when it is stretched or wet.  <\/p>\n<p>Extended reading: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.china-fire-retardant.com\/post\/9408.html\">https:\/\/www.  china-fire-retardant.com\/post\/9408.html<\/a><br \/>Extended reading: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.alltextile.cn\/product\/product-27-248.html\">https  :\/\/www.alltextile.cn\/product\/product-27-248.html<\/a><br \/>Extended reading: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.alltextile.cn\/product\/product-46-125%20%20.html\">https:\/\/www.alltextile.cn\/product\/product-46-125.html<\/a><br \/>Extended reading: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.alltextile.cn\/product\/%20%20product-59-376.html\">https:\/\/www.alltextile.cn\/product\/product-59-376.html<\/a><br \/>Extended reading:<a href=\"https:\/\/www.alltextile%20%20.cn\/product\/product-22-155.html\">https:\/\/www.alltextile.cn\/product\/product-22-155.htm<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>UPF is the abbreviation of English Ultraviolet Protection Factor, which is ultraviolet protection factor.
