Certified eclipse glasses

They meet EN ISO 12312-2:2015 and carry an EU type-examination (module B of Regulation (EU) 2016/425) by notified body 0196, certificate C7564ROCTAR/R0, valid until 2 November 2030. Both documents are published on this page as PDFs, and number 0196 can be checked in the European Commission’s NANDO database. Even so, hold them up to a lamp before using them: a scratched or pierced filter does not protect you, however certified the model is.

ROPTIC hands the parcel to GLS within 48 hours of payment, and GLS quotes a transit of 24 to 48 hours in mainland Spain and the Balearics and 24 to 72 hours to mainland Portugal (about 2 working days). That margin works out fine, but the delivery date is the carrier's and we will not promise it: the earlier you order, the more margin you have. If you are cutting it fine, order today.

Spain and Portugal, which is what the GLS 14h service they travel with covers. The Canaries are excluded — the manufacturer’s carrier does not cover the islands — so an order with a Canarian postcode cannot be fulfilled and we refund it. The rest of Europe is not served by these: promising an express delivery where the carrier does not offer one would be a lie, and at this point a parcel that arrives late is no use to anyone. For France, Germany and the UK there are the Helioclipse glasses, on their own page.

€6.84 per order to any address in Spain or Portugal — the same rate in Madrid as in Lisbon — charged once, whether you buy one pair or fifty. It is charged on every order, no exceptions: it is exactly what the carriage costs us, and we pass it on as it is. That is why a pack works out better than ordering one at a time, several times: the same shipping shared across more pairs.

Yes, and the maths includes shipping: one pair delivered is €11.34 (€4.50 + €6.84 shipping); the 2-pack delivered is €15.64, that is €7.82 per pair at your door. And the saving grows with size: in the 50-pair pack for town councils, schools and companies each pair costs €3.25 instead of €4.50. If you want to keep them for the 2027 eclipse, the glasses with case have their own page.

Yes, right on this page: the ladder goes up to the 50-pair pack, where each pair costs €3.25, with the €6.84 shipping paid once and a Spanish invoice. In those tiers we will not promise you the lowest price: what nobody else gives you is the notified-body certificate, published and checkable before you pay.

With binoculars and telescopes, NO, never: they concentrate sunlight and burn through the filter instantly. That needs objective filters, fitted in front of the lens. For a phone, this is not the right tool either: if you want to try a photo, put the filter in front of the camera, not in front of your eyes, and do not look at the uncovered Sun on the screen.

No: two separate orders and two parcels. The glasses leave ROPTIC’s warehouse in Spain and the merch is printed on demand in another European factory, so they arrive on different dates with different tracking. You will get an email for each one.

If the filter is intact — no scratches, no holes, no creases — yes. Store them flat: on 2 August 2027 another total eclipse crosses Cádiz and Málaga, and on 26 January 2028 there is an annular one visible from Spain.
