澳大利亚防晒霜制造商将面临更严格的规定。此前一起安全丑闻导致多个畅销品牌被下架。
Australian sunscreen manufacturers will be subject to stricter rules in the wake of a safety scandal that saw popular brands pulled off shelves.
澳大利亚治疗用品管理局（TGA）周二宣布的这项改革包括对特定成分实行更严格的检测和质量要求。
The reforms, announced by the Therapeutic Goods Administration (TGA) on Tuesday, include stronger testing and quality requirements for specific ingredients.
此前，消费者权益组织“选择”去年发布了一份重磅报告，发现一些畅销防晒霜未能提供制造商所宣称的防护水平。
This comes after a bombshell report last year by consumer advocacy group Choice which found that some popular sunscreens did not provide the level of protection their manufacturers claimed.
TGA首席医疗顾问罗宾·兰厄姆告诉BBC，拟议的新规“旨在让SPF宣称更加可靠”，并让该机构“在出现担忧时能更快获取证据”。
The new proposed regulations are "about making SPF claims more reliable" and giving the agency "faster access to evidence when concerns arise", Robyn Langham, the TGA's chief medical adviser, tells the BBC.
她在一份声明中表示：“澳大利亚人期望标签上的SPF有可靠证据支撑。这些拟议改革将这一期望置于防晒霜监管的核心，对消费者购买的成品提出更严格的检测要求，并在产品上市期间进行反复检测。”根据TGA拟议的新规，化妆品防晒霜品牌可宣称的皮肤防护系数（SPF）也将受到限制。
"Australians expect the SPF on the label to be backed by robust evidence," she said in a statement over "These proposed reforms put that expectation at the centre of sunscreen regulation, with stronger testing requirements for the finished product consumers buy and repeat testing throughout its time on the market." Under the new regulations proposed by the TGA, cosmetic sunscreen brands will also be limited in the skin protection factor (SPF) claims they can make.
此举是为了确保消费者能够“明确区分”主要以防紫外线为目的的防晒霜和以防紫外线为次要功能的化妆品。
This is to ensure "clear distinction for consumers" between sunscreens that are mainly made for UV protection and cosmetic products where UV protection is a secondary function.
供应商在登记防晒霜时，还将被要求向TGA提供其SPF检测数据，并在产品的整个保质期内定期进行检测。
Suppliers would also be required to provide their SPF testing data to the TGA when they list a sunscreen, and keep periodically testing the product throughout its shelf life.
根据现行规定，防晒霜制造商并非必须向TGA提供检测数据，除非被要求提供。TGA表示，改革将“分阶段实施，必要时进行进一步磋商”。
Under current regulations, it's not mandatory for sunscreen manufacturers to provide testing data to the TGA unless requested. The TGA said the reforms would be "implemented in stages, with further consultation where required".
“选择”于2025年6月发布的报告发现，在20款受测防晒霜中，有16款未能达到其宣传的SPF等级，其中包括几个高端昂贵品牌。
The Choice report, published in June 2025, found that 16 of 20 tested sunscreens - including several premium, expensive brands - failed to live up to their advertised SPF rating.
一款名为 Ultra Violette Lean Screen Skinscreen 的产品去年曾主动召回，该产品宣称防晒指数为 SPF 50+，但经检测仅提供 SPF 4 的防护。
One product, Ultra Violette's Lean Screen Skinscreen, which was voluntarily recalled last year, was marketed as having an SPF of 50+ but was found to offer only SPF 4.
这起丑闻在澳大利亚引发强烈反弹，澳大利亚是全球皮肤癌发病率最高的国家。十多款产品因此被下架或暂停销售。
The scandal sparked massive backlash in Australia, which has the highest rate of skin cancer in the world. More than a dozen products were pulled from shelves or had their sales suspended as a result of the scandal. The TGA proposed sweeping reforms to the sunscreen industry earlier this year, which included plans to make sunscreen labelling simpler and more oversight at testing labs.
澳大利亚药品管理局（TGA）今年早些时候提出对防晒霜行业进行全面改革，其中包括简化防晒霜标签、加强对检测实验室的监管等计划。该局周二发表的声明称，标签变更将在进一步审查和磋商后实施。
Its statement on Tuesday said that changes to labelling would be made after further review and consultation.
消费者权益组织 Choice 欢迎这些改革，并在周二的声明中表示，“很高兴看到”药品管理局提出的更严格规则。
Choice welcomed the reforms, saying in a statement on Tuesday that it was "pleased to see" the stricter rules proposed by the TGA.
不过，该组织指出，药品管理局并未提议“常规监测和评估检测结果”。
However, the group pointed out that the TGA has not proposed to "routinely monitor and evaluate test results".
Choice 还主张，防晒霜检测结果不应仅提供给药品管理局（这是监管机构的提议），而应公开并接受常规监测，“以保障透明度和公众安全”。
Choice also argued that that sunscreen test results should not be provided only to the TGA - as proposed by the regulator - but rather made publicly available and routinely monitored, "in the interest of transparency and public safety".
