Purpose and Scope
This standard test method is used to determine the ultraviolet radiation blocked or transmitted by textile fabrics intended to be used for UV protection.
This method provides procedures for measuring this fabric property with specimens in either the dry or wet states.
The labeling of products with a UV protection (UPF value) is specified in ASTM D 6603, Standard Guide for Labeling of UV-Protective Textiles. Refer to Appendix B of TM 183 for a summary of methodology.
