I just bought a supply of paper/plastic solar eclipse “glasses” for the upcoming USA total solar eclipse (I’ll be in the desert in Idaho, hoping for clear skies). I thought you might be interested in the product markings on this product.
[CE & ISO marks] Conforms to and meets the Transmission Requirements of ISO 12312-2, Filters for Direct Observation of the Sun. Meets the Transmission Requirements of EN 1836:2005 + A1:2007 € for an E15 Filter for the Direct Observation of the Sun. Meets the Transmission Requirements of AS/NZS 1338.1:2012, Filters for Eye Protectors. EC Type Examination by: SAI Global Assurance Services Ltd. (Notified Body No. NB2056. There’s more about addresses, and the vendor is identified as American Paper Optics of Bartlett, TN. www.3dglassesonline.com Also interesting that there is a warning to discard product after three years (although date of manufacture is not stated). We don’t often talk about optical standards, so I thought this marking, on a $2 consumer product (bought on Amazon), might be interesting for us.
