Frequently Asked Questions

Q1: Is EC type-examination required for importing sunglasses into Europe?

A:No. Sunglasses fall under PPE Category I and only require CE marking with a self-declaration.

Q2: Must the CE mark be printed on the product?

A:If the CE mark cannot be printed due to material or size limitations, it must appear on the product packaging and documentation.

Q3: Are there special requirements for children's sunglasses?

A:Optical and physical standards are similar to adult sunglasses, except for interpupillary distance. Chemical regulations may differ—for example, the U.S. requires CPSIA lead testing.

Q4: Do toy sunglasses need to meet sunglass safety standards?

A:If the toy offers no protective function, it must include a warning such as:

> "Warning. This toy does not provide protection."
