First of all, you need to go to a good store with nice reputation. Most normal manufactured sunglasses are discharged from factory with supporting specification. You can read this specification to make sure whether the sunglasses pass UV400 test. When there is no formal specification at hand, you may check the label hanging on one leg of sunglasses. Generally, most manufacturers print basic parameters of products on the label. You can get information about UV400 there. Additionally, there is a practical way to identify sunglasses. Take a portable money detector which use ultraviolet ray to identify currency. Turn on the money detector. Let the ultraviolet ray to reflect on the money through sunglasses lenses. If the sunglasses are UV400, you can not see the anti-fake mark in the money. Instead, if you can still see the mark, the sunglasses may not be UV400.
