1. These Directions are established for inspection process of sunglasses commodities.
2. Commodities: Sunglasses and nonprescription shaped and finished lenses of sunglasses.
3. Inspection Method: Declaration of Conformity (DoC).
4. Commodity Inspection Mark: the obligatory inspection applicant shall, based on “Regulations
Governing the Use of Commodity Inspection Mark”, apply to the Bureau of Standards, Metrology
and Inspection, MOEA (hereinafter referred to as BSMI) or its affiliates for the designated code of
the commodity inspection identification number, print the Commodity Inspection Mark of the
Statement of Conformity and paste it at part of commodities where it could be easily sighted (such
as spectacle frames or hang tags).
5. Regulations to Doc:
(1) The relevant technical documents shall be prepared to issue a Doc by the obligatory inspection
applicant are as follows:
a. Commodities Specifications:
(a) Commodities structure, materials and scope of application.
(b) Commodities catalogue and color photographs with sizes of 4*6 inches or more.
(c) List of full range of commodity models.
b. One original copy of testing report completed within one year prior to the date of the signature of
the Doc.
c. Classification Table for Testing Report of Doc for sunglasses and related eyewear commodities.
d. Production process summary.
e. Production process quality control measures or other verification documents.
f. Mark Sample.
g. Other required technical documents.
(2) The Obligator inspection applicant shall keep the Doc and relevant technical documents until
five years after the termination of production or import of such Commodities.
(3) The Doc shall be stored in the business office of the Obligor of inspection applicant and
presented by the Obligator within 24 hours (10 working days for technical documents) upon the
market inspection by BMSI.
6. The applicant should provide the declaration of conformity classification and samples to the
Bureau of Standard, Metrology and Inspection (BSMI) or designated testing laboratories by BSMI
for conducting the test.
7. Type and series of type mentioned in the test report are defined as follows:
(1) Sunglasses
a. Type: The classification is based on the brand and transmittance (including general and polarizing
filters). Of the same type, metal spectacle frames and the higher filter category number regarded as
the main type. Without metal spectacle frames and the higher filter category number, select any
model as the main type.
b. Series of the type: Of the same type, different models, styles, filter category numbers and filter
colors belong to the series type other than the main type.
(2)nonprescription shaped and finished lenses of sunglasses
a. Type: The classification is based on the brand (or manufacturer) and transmittance (including
general and polarizing filters). Of the same type, the higher filter category number regarded as the
main type. Without the higher filter category number, select any model as the main type.
b. Series of the type: Of the same type, different models, filter category numbers and filter colors
belong to the series type other than the main type.
8. Test principles:
(1) The test of the main type should be conducted on all test items.
(2) The test of the series of type should be conducted as follows:
a. If the number of series of the type is accumulated less than thirty, each ten series of the types
selects one type to conduct on the key test items. If the number of series of the type is less than ten,
selects one type to conduct on the key test items.
b. If the number of series of the type is accumulated above thirty-one less than one hundred and
fifty, each twenty series of the types selects one type to conduct on the key test items. If the number
of series of the type is less than twenty, selects one type to conduct on the key test items.
c. If the number of series of the type is accumulated above one hundred and fifty-one less than five
hundred, each fifty series of the types selects one type to conduct on the key test items. If the
number of series of the type is less than fifty, selects one type to conduct on the key test items.
d. If the number of series of the type is accumulated above five hundred and one, each hundred
series of the types selects one type to conduct on the key test items. If the number of series of the
type is less than one hundred, selects one type to conduct on the key test items.
9. Inspection standard and items:
(1)Inspection standard: CNS 15067.
(2)The items for the main type and series of type are given as follows:
a. Sunglasses
(a)All test items: Transmittance(solar UV-B transmittance 280 nm to 315 nm、solar UV-A
transmittance 315 nm to 380 nm、visible spectral transmittance、 uniformity of luminous
transmittance)、Refractive power(spherical power、astigmatic power、Prism imbalance[horizontal
prismatic power、 vertical prismatic power])、filters minimum robustness、construction、filter
material and surface quality、frame deformation and retention of filters、resistance to ignition and
labels. But metal frame direct contact with the skin adds “release of nickel” test item. For road use
and driving adds “spectral transmittance 475 nm to 650 nm、detection of signal lights” two test
items. Polarizing filters add “polarization degree、the plane of polarization” two test items.
(b)Key test items: Transmittance(solar UV-B transmittance 280 nm to 315 nm、solar UV-A
transmittance 315 nm to 380 nm、visible spectral transmittance、 uniformity of luminous
transmittance). For road use and driving adds “spectral transmittance 475 nm to 650 nm、detection
of signal lights” two test items. Polarizing filters add “polarization degree、the plane of
polarization” two test items.
b. nonprescription shaped and finished lenses of sunglasses
(a)All test items: Transmittance(solar UV-B transmittance 280 nm to 315 nm、solar UV-A
transmittance 315 nm to 380 nm、visible spectral transmittance、 uniformity of luminous
transmittance)、Refractive power (spherical power、astigmatic power)、filters minimum robustness、
resistance to ignition and labels. But for road use and driving adds “spectral transmittance 475 nm to
650 nm、detection of signal lights” two test items. Polarizing filters add “polarization degree、the
plane of polarization” two test items.
(b)Key test items: Transmittance(solar UV-B transmittance 280 nm to 315 nm、solar UV-A
transmittance 315 nm to 380 nm、visible spectral transmittance、 uniformity of luminous
transmittance). But for road use and driving adds “spectral transmittance 475 nm to 650 nm、
detection of signal lights” two test items. Polarizing filters add “polarization degree、the plane of
polarization” two test items.
10. After received the test report, the applicant should amend the test reports to the original
inspection agencies (institutions) with original test report、declaration of conformity classification、
sample. According to applicant’s amendment application for the declaration of conformity
classification changed as follows:
(1) If the newly added is regarded as the main type, all test items shall be conducted.
(2) If the newly added is regarded as the series type, only the key test items shall be conducted
based on the principle of the article eight. If don’t have to conduct the key test items based on the
principle of the article eight, amend the declaration of conformity classification.
11. The test report of the same brand、style、manufacturer of sunglasses can be used by others for
Doc signature with its applicant’s authorization
12. The obligatory of inspection applicant, manufacturing or importing commercially available
costume non-prescription colored glasses commodities shall mark the specifications according to
the actual function of the commodities. The mark labeling and management methods are as follows:
(1)Commodities with anti-sunlight radiation features shall be marked the wording “Sunglasses”. For
sunglasses targeting children under the age of fourteen and available for playing purpose, CNS 4797
“Safety of toys (General requirements)” shall be included in the inspected items.
(2) Commodities with no anti-sunlight radiation features and for playing of children shall be marked
with the wording “Toys”. For costume purpose of adults, the wording “Costume Non-prescription
Glasses” shall be marked.
(3) Commodities without being marked shall be determined by BMSI for their product types.
Commodities categorized as sunglasses or toys shall be treated with relevant regulations.
