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.

堪培拉主要购物中心提供符合澳大利亚防晒标准的帽子

良好的防晒措施包括佩戴必须符合规定的光防护标准的防晒帽，例如 2017 年澳大利亚/新西兰标准 (AS/NZS 4399:2017)。本研究于 2019 年 11 月进行了为期三天的横断面调查，通过访问澳大利亚一家大型多商店购物中心的每家商店，调查了防晒帽的供应情况。在根据标准对设计的防晒安全性进行评估之前，根据目标客户是成人还是儿童对帽子进行分类。在研究购物中心的 260 家商店中，有 30 家 (12%) 出售帽子。在研究中检查的 524 顶帽子中，有 69% 的市售成人和儿童帽子不符合标准。在声称紫外线防护系数为 50 (UPF-50) 的带有摆动标签的帽子中，有 9%，大约一半不防晒。需要进一步研究调查是否应向用于展示的帽子零售商提供防晒帽子标准的可能性，或者是否可以要求制造商在所有不符合防晒帽子标准的帽子上贴上警告标签。
