EU Type-Examination Certificate

EN ISO 12312-2:2015

Certification Standards

International Solar Viewing Standard

EN ISO 12312-2:2015 is the globally recognized safety standard for solar viewing filters used in eclipse glasses. It specifies the optical density and radiation limits required to safely observe the sun without risking eye damage.

Protection from Harmful Radiation

Certified solar filters must block dangerous levels of ultraviolet (UV), infrared (IR), and intense visible light. This ensures the lenses significantly reduce solar brightness while maintaining safe viewing conditions.

Tested Optical Safety

To meet EN ISO 12312-2:2015 requirements, solar filters must pass rigorous optical testing. These tests verify that the lenses maintain proper light transmission levels and consistent protective performance.

Testing & Compliance Verification

Material Standard

The material and surface quality for solar eclipse glasses is heavily scrutinised to ensure no defects are present that allows unfiltered light to reach the eye. Lenses must be free from scratches, bubbles, pitting, and any other issues that can compromise optical safety.

Complete Solar Protection

Solar glasses must offer consistent protection across the entire surface area of the lenses. The uniformity of transmittance must be within 10% of the luminous transmittance to ensure that there's no hot spots where light spills through, and that your glasses are safe to use.

Quality Control

Manufacturing standards are strictly monitored to ensure product assembly is done to regulatory standard. Solar filters must be securely fitted, and the glasses material free from any common skin irritants to increase safety while viewing the solar eclipse.

Key Certification Benefits

Compliance with recognized safety standards ensures the product meets the regulatory expectations required for distribution and sale within the European Union.

Frequently asked questions
What does EN ISO 12312-2:2015 certification mean?

EN ISO 12312-2:2015 is the international safety standard for solar viewing filters used in eclipse glasses. It specifies strict requirements for optical density and radiation filtering to ensure that the lenses safely reduce sunlight intensity during solar observation.
Why is certification important for eclipse glasses?

Looking directly at the sun without proper protection can cause serious and permanent eye damage. Certified solar eclipse glasses ensure that the lenses block harmful levels of ultraviolet (UV), infrared (IR), and intense visible light.
How can I check if eclipse glasses meet safety standards?

Check the product labeling and documentation to confirm compliance with EN ISO 12312-2:2015. The manufacturer name, safety standard reference, and product details should be clearly indicated on the glasses or packaging.
Are these glasses approved for use in Europe?

Yes. Our solar eclipse glasses are manufactured to meet recognized safety standards applicable to solar viewing products and are suitable for sale within the European market.
