The PHC Bahtera Adi Jaya lab team continues to demonstrate its commitment to delivering top-notch laboratory services by hosting a lab training titled “Beyond SPF Claims: Measuring Sun Protection Rating and Regulation Training” on Wednesday, February 4, 2026. 

The session brought together the entire lab team and was designed to introduce and deepen their understanding of the latest laboratory instruments used in measuring sun protection rating for sunscreen products.

This training is part of PHC Bahtera Adi Jaya’s ongoing efforts to stay ahead in sunscreen testing technologies and comply with evolving industry regulations. 

With growing public awareness of skin health and the increasing demand for sunscreen, the ability of laboratories to provide accurate and reliable testing has never been more critical.

Lab Training Overview

The one-day training was divided into several sessions, giving participants a comprehensive experience that combined theory with hands-on practice. 

The first session focused on the latest regulations regarding SPF claims and skin protection, including international standards that serve as industry benchmarks. 

The second session introduced the newest lab instruments, followed by practical exercises in measuring sun protection rating.

The program emphasized not only technical skills but also the importance of regulatory knowledge and data accuracy for customers. 

This approach ensures that each team member is proficient in operating the instruments while fully understanding the context behind sunscreen testing, including interpreting results and preparing reports according to industry standards.

Introducing the Latest Laboratory Instruments

A key highlight of the lab training was the introduction of the latest Sun Protection Factor (SPF) measurement instruments. 

Compared to previous models, these instruments offer significant advantages. Beyond measuring SPF and PA ratings, the new equipment can assess protection against blue light exposure—a growing concern given the widespread use of digital screens.

The instruments also come with advanced software that simplifies data analysis, allowing lab teams to deliver SPF test results more quickly and accurately. 

This capability enables the laboratory to provide more comprehensive reports, offering valuable insights to sunscreen manufacturers and end-users alike.

Lab Training Objectives

The training had several core objectives:

  1. Equip lab team members with the skills to operate the newest laboratory instruments.
  2. Ensure a thorough understanding of sunscreen testing methods in line with national and international regulations.
  3. Generate reliable, accurate data that customers and regulators can trust.

Achieving these goals means that PHC Bahtera Adi Jaya can deliver sunscreen testing that not only meets scientific standards but also provides added value to manufacturers and consumers who rely on SPF data to protect their skin from UV damage.

Participant Engagement

The enthusiasm among participants was palpable. Lab team members actively asked questions, engaged in discussions, and jumped straight into hands-on practice with the new instruments. 

This high level of participation reflects a strong commitment to learning and professional growth. Furthermore, the interaction between participants and instructors fostered a collaborative learning environment, where knowledge and experience could be shared freely.

Benefits for Customers and Stakeholders

The training delivers value beyond internal team development—it directly benefits customers and external stakeholders. By enhancing the lab team’s expertise and leveraging the latest instruments, PHC Bahtera Adi Jaya can guarantee:
