					 the bridge is attached to the frame. The frames shall then be bent slowly, the
					 direction of motion being in a plane perpendicular to the surface of the lenses
					 until the outer ends of the frames touch. The frames shall then be bent back to
					 their original shape and a careful inspection made for failure in the joints.
					 All frames shall pass this test wih no visible crack evidenced.
(c) If the bridge is constructed with
					 individual members of the bridge in more than one plane parallel to the surface
					 of the lenses, all of the members except those attached to the rims of the lens
					 frames shall be cut in two and the above test applied to the remaining
					 members.
(d) If goggles are
					 provided with side shields, such shields shall be of metal, pliable leather, or
					 collapsible material of suitable durability. The material shall be sufficiently
					 flexible or malleable to permit adjusting to the contour of the face. The edges
					 coming in contact with the skin shall be finished in a manner to prevent
