New sunscreens listed on the Australian Register of Therapeutic Goods (ARTG) from 10 November 2012 will need to meet the 2012 Standard, which incorporates labelling with a rating of up to SPF 50+ and sets stringent requirements for the broad spectrum performance.
Full information for consumers, retailers and industry on the new sunscreen standard has been published on the TGA website.
