Review of Results
When shade fabric is used for purposes such as shade structures for human protection, the ultraviolet effectiveness (UVE)
may not be an accurate guide to the protection provided and may be less than the measured value due to variations in design,
height and size of shade structures, stretching of the fabric, the distance of the fabric from the persons, the direction of
sunlight, and the physical location of the persons within the shade structure (e.g. at the edge or at the centre).

Disclaimer Material Sample

Unless otherwise stated the sample was tested unstretched, dry and in new condition. This report
has been prepared in accordance with standard AS/NZS 4174: 2018 - Knitted and woven shade
fabrics, Appendices A, B & D. The results in this report are applicable to the sample tested and
may not apply to other batches of the same material or similar materials.

It is a condition of the provision of these test results that you do not use the name of the
Australian Radiation Protection and Nuclear Safety Agency (ARPANSA) or the Commonwealth of
Australia, or any words, marks or devices which may imply a connection with ARPANSA or the

Review of Results
When shade fabric is used for purposes such as shade structures for human protection, the ultraviolet effectiveness (UVE)
may not be an accurate guide to the protection provided and may be less than the measured value due to variations in design,
height and size of shade structures, stretching of the fabric, the distance of the fabric from the persons, the direction of
sunlight, and the physical location of the persons within the shade structure (e.g. at the edge or at the centre).

Review of Results
When shade fabric is used for purposes such as shade structures for human protection, the ultraviolet effectiveness (UVE)
may not be an accurate guide to the protection provided and may be less than the measured value due to variations in design,
height and size of shade structures, stretching of the fabric, the distance of the fabric from the persons, the direction of
sunlight, and the physical location of the persons within the shade structure (e.g. at the edge or at the centre).
