Compliance
This eyewear complies with:
- Regulation (EU) 2016/425
- Harmonized standard EN ISO 12312-1:2013/A1:2015
Usage
These sunglasses protect against ocular lesions due to exposure to sunlight (these ocular lesions are different from injuries caused by direct observation of the sun).
Maintenance
This eyewear should not be exposed to temperatures lower than -10°C or higher than +35°C and should be kept in its protective storage case.
Do not leave the product under direct sunlight in closed, non-conditioned environments (for example a car dashboard), as extremely high temperatures may damage the eyewear.
When not in use and during transport, store the sunglasses in the protective transparent envelope.
Cleaning
Use a damp cloth and a normal mild cleaning agent and dry with a soft, dry cloth.
Do not use solvents.

- Not suitable for direct observation of the sun or solar eclipses.

Mechanical impacts may cause the eyewear itself to break, potentially causing injury to the face or eyes.
