of the sunglasses (including at least the temples, rings and filters) shall not
continue to burn.
11 Coating performance
11.1 Sweat resistance
11.1.1 Test according to the method specified in 8.5.1 of GB/T 39552.2-2020.
In the test to 8h and 24h, respectively, visually inspect the specified parts. The
sample shall:
a) At 8h, the spectacle frame (excluding hinges and screws) has no corrosion
points or discoloration (excluding surface loss);
b) At 24h, the coating layer on the parts of the spectacle frame that are easy

Annex B
(informative)
Instructions for use for sunglare filters
B.1 Daytime
Sunglare filters are mainly used to protect human eyes from excessive sunlight,
reduce visual fatigue, and improve visual ability. The choice of sunglare filters
depends on the intensity of the surrounding environment and the sensitivity of
each person to glare. If in doubt, consult a professional ophthalmologist.
In addition to reducing the glare, sunglare filters can also avoid the damage of
ultraviolet rays to human eyes.
WARNING: This Part does not apply to special filters that can directly observe
the sun (such as observing solar eclipses).
B.2 Light diminishing
As the light diminishes, the light-sensitive ability of the sunglare filters will also
decrease. The darker the filters, the lower the light transmittance of the sunglare
filters, and the worse its visibility. Sunglare filters with a light transmittance of
less than 75% are not suitable for use in dim light. For photochromic filters that
can meet the requirements of 6.12 in GB/T 39552.2-2020, if the light
transmittance in the darkened state is greater than 75%, it can be used when
the light is dim.
B.3 Photochromic sunglare filters
Since the light transmittance of photochromic sunglare filters depends on the
intensity of light radiation, temperature and other factors, there may be special
cases where the light transmittance of the filters does not match its classification
range. These special cases include:
a) In a low temperature environment (such as winter), the transmittance of
the filters will decrease;
b) In high temperature environments (such as midsummer, tropical areas),
the transmittance of the filters will increase;
c) In a weak radiation environment (such as when driving a car), the
transmittance of the filters will increase.
B.4 Blue light hazard
If the current evaluation method is used to evaluate the surface solar radiation,
even in an environment with extremely strong light (such as snowy surfaces),
the blue light in the solar spectrum does not pose actual hazards to the human
body, so this Part does not specify the mandatory requirements for blue light.
However, there are still disagreements on whether blue light will harm human
health. In order to correctly describe the protective ability of sunglare filters
against blue light, this Part gives the requirements for blue light transmittance.
But it needs to be pointed out that because sunlight has extremely high spectral
radiation and the solar spectrum is rich in blue light, it is very dangerous to look
directly at the sun.
B.5 Infrared hazard
If the current evaluation method is used to evaluate the surface solar radiation,
even in an environment with extremely strong light (such as snow-covered
surfaces), the infrared spectrum in the solar spectrum does not pose actual
hazards to the human body, so this Part does not specify mandatory
requirements for infrared spectrum. In order to correctly describe the protection
ability of sunglasses against infrared radiation, this Part gives the requirements
for infrared transmittance.
B.6 UV hazards
When humans are not wearing sunglasses, human eyes have a natural
protective response to glare. This protective response can reduce the
excessive radiation of outdoor light and reduce the light flux entering the eyes
by squinting. Generally, sunglasses without side protection may cause damage
to eye tissues due to the Coroneo effect. In order to calculate corneal irradiance,
the analysis of solar ultraviolet light shows that, in temperate regions, the
biggest factor affecting human eye exposure is seasonal changes in solar
radiation. At the same time, surface reflections, changes in the radiation time of
noon sunlight, changes in altitude, and the opening and closing of the eyes will
significantly affect the corneal irradiance. The limit value of the UV
transmittance of sunglasses is calculated based on the bio-weighted exposure.
This includes various abnormal exposures other than the snow factor, such as
the anomalous exposure of snowfields in tropical conditions, late spring, and
normal terrain in mid-latitudes. The above influencing factors will ensure that
the ultraviolet transmittance limit value will not exceed the recognized safety
limit. Therefore, the specification of the spectral (replacement of the average
and weighting factor) transmittance limit value has a greater and further
improvement in the safety factor than the previous one.
B.7 Road use and driving
This Part specifies the requirements for road use and driving sunglare filters
under normal conditions in detail. Category 4 sunglasses are not suitable for
