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.
多年来，衣物一直是防晒策略的一部分。然而，直到最近才开展研究来调查织物的防护性能，并将临床建议建立在坚实的科学基础之上。现在可以对织物进行评级并赋予紫外线防护系数。有几个因素会影响光防护，如结构、弹性、含水量、颜色、纤维类型和各种制造工艺。1996年，澳大利亚/新西兰防晒服装标准发布。这是世界上首个此类标准。
