    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?

        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.
