The Sun Protection Factor (SPF) determined in vivo is now a universal indicator of the efficacy of sunscreen products against sunburn. Colipa, JCIA and CTFA SA began discussions on the harmonisation of the SPF measurement method in 2000. A joint agreement of the international SPF Test Method was reached in October 2002. The method described in this guideline is a guide to help experienced technicians perform the test. Certain procedures are critical to obtain the correct result and these are described in the appendices and the CD-ROM, which shows the correct procedure for the weighing and application of products. All procedures in the guideline may be subject to revision and the technicians performing the test should ensure that they are working with the most recent version of the method.
Please note that the CD-ROM is only available by ordering this publication.
