The SPF is used as a multiplier for the skin's own protection time and indicates how long you can effectively stay in the sun with the textile without damaging the skin. Similar to the SPF of sun creams, it is the basis for calculating the skin's own protection.
This varies greatly depending on the skin type. The skin of a person with skin type I, for example, with red or blonde hair, blue eyes and a very light complexion, has a self-protection time of around five to ten minutes.
If they are exposed to the blazing sun unprotected for longer, they run the risk of dangerous sunburn. Protected with a textile with UV protection SPF 50, the time spent in the sun can be extended by a factor of fifty without causing skin damage, i.e. to around 5 hours (50 x 5 min = 250 min).
The sun protection of Knirps umbrellas is tested according to the Australian/New Zealand standard AS/NZS 4399:2017
