How do you know if sunglasses are CE marked?

CE marking and UV protection
Sunglasses protect the eyes from the sun's harmful rays, and the CE mark ensures that they comply with European safety and health requirements, including adequate UV protection. The mark must be clearly located either on the underside of the frame or on the inside of the lenses.

Documentation and control
Make sure that the packaging and instructions for use contain additional documentation, such as a certificate or identification number confirming the CE marking. The absence of marking or documentation is a sign that the product may not meet applicable standards, and you should therefore consider other models from reliable retailers.
