How can you tell if your eclipse glasses are safe?
Eclipse glasses have their safety certified by the International Organization for Standardization (ISO). You can tell if a pair of solar eclipse glasses meet today’s standards if they are labeled ISO 12312-2 (sometimes written as ISO 12312-2:2015). Eclipse glasses manufacturers send their products to specialized labs that test whether the lenses comply with the ISO 12312-2 safety specifications.

Unfortunately, some vendors sell solar eclipse glasses with the ISO label that haven’t actually been tested and certified. The only way to be totally sure that your eclipse glasses are safe is to buy them from a source that the American Astronomical Society (AAS) has approved as reputable. The AAS reviews hundreds of solar eclipse glasses vendors to check that they have actually been tested and approved by the ISO, and to perform their own examinations of the products. They have a list of all their approved reputable vendors that you can check.

NOTE: (Test) You shouldn't see anything through them when looking outside on a bright, sunny day. If you can, you have a bad pair. DO NOT USE THEM!!!

Kindly,
