Counterfeit Eclipse Glasses…

[LuFins Dad]

Was on Facebook Marketplace and saw somebody local was selling Eclipse Glasses. They showed a picture of the ISO Certification for safe solar viewing. One problem… ISO doesn’t certify that… I looked them up on the AAS Site and they had a warning about these exact glasses…

I messaged the person to let them know and they said they saw the article but ISO guaranteed them… they have also sold several hundred of these… Sigh… Should I report this to Facebook?

[LuFins Dad]

Yeah… Of course, these people will know who reported it…

My eclipse watching glasses have these:
ISO 12312-2
EN 1836:2005 + A1:2007 (E) for an E15 filter
AS/NZS 1338:2012
EU PPE Regulations 2016/425

I have not check what these mean.

But the glasses work as expected.
