Good sun-safety practice includes wearing sun-protective hats that must meet defined photoprotective criteria such as the 2017 Australian/New Zealand standard (AS/NZS 4399:2017). This study investigated the availability of sun-safe hats during a three-day cross-sectional survey in November 2019 by visiting every shop in a single large multi-store shopping complex in Australia. Hats were categorized according to whether the target customer was an adult or child prior to the assessment of design suitability for sun safety according to the standard. Of the 260 shops in the study shopping center, 30 (12%) sold hats. Of the 524 hats examined in the study, 69% of all commercially available hats for adults and children did not meet the standard. Of the 9% of hats that had swing tags claiming an Ultraviolet Protection Factor of 50 (UPF-50), about half were not sun safe. Further research is needed to investigate the possibility of whether sun-safety hat standards should be given to retailers of hats for display, or whether manufacturers could be required to put warning labels on all hats that do not meet sun-safety hat standards.
良好的防晒措施包括佩戴防晒帽，这些帽子必须符合明确的防晒标准，如 2017 年澳大利亚/新西兰标准（AS/NZS 4399:2017）。本研究通过在 2019 年 11 月进行为期三天的横断面调查，走访了澳大利亚一个大型多商店购物中心的每一家商店，调查了在该购物中心内销售的防晒帽的情况。在评估设计是否符合标准的防晒安全性之前，根据目标客户是成人还是儿童对帽子进行分类。在研究中心的 260 家商店中，有 30 家（12%）出售帽子。在所研究的 524 顶帽子中，69%的成人和儿童用的商业销售帽子不符合标准。在声称紫外线防护因子为 50（UPF-50）的吊牌帽子中，约有一半不符合防晒标准。需要进一步研究，以探讨是否应向帽子零售商提供防晒帽标准以供展示，或者是否可以要求所有不符合防晒帽标准的帽子制造商贴上警告标签。
