To respond to industry’s concern, on Aug 15th CFDA released a notification to further specify the labeling requirements. According to the notification, products with SPF≥2 are subject to the following rules: Measured SPF =2-5 (including 2 and 5): indication of the actual measured value Measured SPF=6-50 (including 6 and 50): the maximum labeling SPF shall be actual measured value; the minimum labeling SPF shall be the smaller number comparing the lower limit of 95% confidence intervals of the actual measured value with the largest integer (less than the actual measured value) of multiple of 5 Me
