The Sunscreen (Product Safety Standard) Bill aims to improve the accuracy of claims about the sun protection factor—SPF—for the purchase of sunscreen products. Unlike Australia, there is no mandatory standard for sunscreens here in New Zealand, despite the fact that many New Zealanders die every year from skin cancer resulting from their exposure to the sun's UVA and UVB rays. The New Zealand sunscreen manufacturers must be held to a consistently high standard of manufacture and accountability.
