WHAT DOES UPF MEAN?
UPF testing
involves exposing a
fabric to Ultraviolet
Radiation (UVR)
and measuring how much
is transmitted through
the sample. Different
wavelengths of radiation
in the UVR spectrum have
different effects on human
skin and this is taken
into consideration when
calculating the UPF rating.

MEDUNSA
Samples of all Emthunzini hats
are tested by the Photobiology
Laboratory, MEDUNSA and
carry the In Vitro SPF Test
Certificate, symbolising that
they have undergone the SPFtesting procedure as developed
by Diffey and Robson, and
meet the requirements of the
Australian and South African test
methods on the Optometrics SPF
290 Analyser.
CANSA SEAL OF
RECOGNITION
Emthunzini Hats have been
awarded the Cancer Association
of South Africa (CANSA) Seal of
Recognition (CSOR) symbolizing

the harmful effects of the sun.

MANY YEARS EXPERIENCE
There is a great deal of experience
that goes into the making of an Emthunzini hat. The designs
originate from an Australian
family-owned enterprise, which
has been in the industry for over
35 years, as has the manufacturer,
so you can be assured of a
high quality product. The hats
also meet with the Australian
Radiation Protection and Nuclear
Safety Agency UPF rating and are
endorsed by the Skin and Cancer
Foundation of Australia.

Giving a little something back...
For the summer of 2011 Emthunzini Hats will be making a donation from every hat sold
to the formation of the XP Society in South Africa.
Xeroderma Pigmentosum, or XP, is a rare genetic disease whereby a person’s DNA lacks
the ability to repair damage from ultraviolet light. The disease leads to skin cancer as
early as childhood. Unless sun exposure is minimized, XP victims are likely to die of
malignant melanoma or squamous cell carcinoma.
Patients with XP have to be completely protected from the sunlight, failing which their
skin and eyes can be severely damaged. This rare, genetic disease has been indentified
in every ethnic group throughout the world, and if left undiagnosed, can lead to death.
