Garment ratings are based on the lower result of the initial "brand new" test and the second "life cycle" test. Most fabrics lose some level of UV protection as they age, so most fabrics are rated based on their second test. The main exception is cotton or cotton-blend fabrics that can shrink as they age and can be weakest when they are brand new.

This is really tricky, because the expression "brand new," structurally speaking, is NOT a modifier of the garment, but of the test. At the same time, the test itself is not "brand new." Rather, the test is performed on the garment when the garment is brand new, i.e., before the garment is used -- very tricky.
