I'd take issue with the claim that any of this stuff is "certified". It's marked as such, that's all.

That's a weird thing to happen to them.  It looks like might have got soapy water in between the two panes.  It's easy to get it in, harder to get it out again.  The black line is just double sided foam mounting tape, you can replace it if necessary (I DIY dual pane all my goggles using tape and PETG plastic).

I dunno, for decent companies with reputations to uphold i doubt they're gonna want to be caught mis-advertising safety products. Literally a lawsuit waiting to happen.

Granted they wont be testing every pair that's made, but that applies to many products (eg car airbags).

Ofc knock off amazon specials aren't going to give a damn, which is why those who care want to trust their eyes to companies with decent rep like bolle and products with proper ratings.

The goggles were left some time and then crinkled on the outer lense. I assumed this was a film that requires removing, but when I attempted to remove it seemed to break down in to a residue. I cleaned them with soap and they still look extremely cloudy. Not sure why this happened. 

The film is the anti fog coating.  It is hydrophobic, so it floats when you apply too much water.   I have had several pairs of mega tough Uvex goggles ruined by people cleaning them or leaving them face down in the rain.

100%.  Whatever the stated test however, accidents happen in all manufacturing processes.  It is simply good practice to test each pair of eye pro, whatever the make/cost/certification.  I've tested silly damaged Uvex goggles with everything up to a 40 Mike at point blank.

I'd like to blame the k and m keys being close together, but I actually remember typing that on purpose!!  FFS, senility gallops ever closer...
