One thing that sets us apart from our competitors. Is our sunglasses testing procedure. Here you will see just how comprehensive our testing is.
Firstly we make sure our sunglasses exceed all international sunglasses standards. Why? So we can give you the features. That we know are extremely important for children’s sunglasses.
Features like lenses that have full *100% UV protection between 200Nm to 400Nm. Because children’s eyes do not filter UV rays like adult’s eyes. (Note: UVC between 100Nm to 280Nm is totally absorbed by the earth’s atmosphere). Plus a true G-15 lens colour. Because this is the only lens colour that has no loss in clarity or colour distortion. Even for colour blind kids. And we only use impact resistant A-grade polycarbonate lenses. For the very best eye protection of little kids.
Our sunglasses testing procedure 📝🕶️
Drop ball lens test
You can see just how impact resistant our lenses are with this drop ball lens test in the following video. Do not blink or you will miss the steel ball being shot into the lens. To pass this test the lens must not crack or break and the lens must stay firmly fixed in the frame.
Safe Durable materials
We do test all of the materials used in the making our sunglasses so we are confident they are non-toxic. Why? Because we know babies will always start chewing on them. Then we only use materials tested to take all of the punishment kids will hand out. So that you will receive real value for money.
Cross-cut test
There is absolutely no sacrifice in style either. For example we make some really pretty girls models. That are print with roses and other flower designs then heat transfer on to the frames. We know the frames and dyes used in the printing are all non-toxic. But babies should not eat this printed material if it peels off. Therefore these sunglasses are subjected to a cross-cut test so we are confident it will not peel. Please note this cross-cut test is not an international sunglasses standard. But we consider this to be important. You can see the cross-cut test on our baby sunglasses in the following video.
Our sunglasses testing procedure – Impact test
The following impact test. Is not a part of any international sunglasses standard test. But this test is conducted because we want our sunglasses frames to be break proof. And we also do not want the lenses to pop out of the frame. So to perform this test we drop a one kilogram steel block from a height of 100mm onto the frame. This then gives us the confidence to giving you our three year guarantee.
Torque test
On both of our Baby and Tiny Tots range of sunglasses we carry out a torque test. To perform this test. We rotate the temples to 90 degrees with each other both clockwise and anti-clockwise. This test is perform over 100 cycles. The frame only passes if it does not break or the lenses do not pop out. Please note this torque test is not an international sunglasses standard test. You can see how this test is done in the following pictures.
Oven aging test
In the real world sunglasses might be left on the dashboard of a car in the midday summer sun. So we do this oven aging test in an oven set at 70 degrees over a 7 day period. Then these sunglasses are inspected for blemishes and flaws. Before we subject them to many further tests. Please note this oven ageing test is not a an international sunglasses standard test. But we want our sunglasses to last so they give you real value for money.
