=== Australia === Australia introduced the world's first national standards for sunglasses in 1971.{{citation needed|date=April 2017}} They were updated and expanded in 1990 to ''AS 1067.1-1990 Sunglasses and fashion spectacles'' (incl. Part 1 Safety Requirements and Part 2 Performance Requirements), and replaced in 2003 by AS/NZS 1067:2003 Sunglasses and fashion spectacles. This aligned the Australian standard to the European standard{{citation needed|date=April 2017}} opening the European market to Australian-made sunglasses.<ref name="Standards Australia">[http://www.standards.org.au/cat.asp?catid=43&contentid=296&News=1 ''no author'' (2002). Public eye looks over new standard for sunglasses (2002-01-20).] {{webarchive |url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110929021727/http://www.standards.org.au/cat.asp?catid=43&contentid=296&News=1 |date=September 29, 2011 }} website of ''[[Standards Australia]]''. Retrieved 21 September 2009.</ref>{{full citation needed|date=April 2017}} The Australian Standard AS-NZS 1067 defines standards for sunglasses with respect both to UVA (wavelengths between 315 nm and 400 nm) and UVB transmittance.<ref>[https://law.resource.org/pub/nz/ibr/as-nzs.1067.2003.pdf AS-NZS 1067 (2003) (English)] {{webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20130813084752/https://law.resource.org/pub/nz/ibr/as-nzs.1067.2003.pdf |date=2013-08-13 }} : Sunglasses and fashion spectacles (By Authority of Australian Consumer Protection Notices No.13 of 2003 and No. 4 of 2005), retrieved 6 April 2017</ref> The five ratings for transmittance (filter) under this standard are based on the amount of absorbed light, 0 to 4, with "0" providing some protection from UV radiation and sunglare, and "4" indicating a high level of protection, but not to be worn when driving.
