Personal eye protection
Eye-protection equipment is marked with a series of numbers and/or symbols according to the field of use, the protection capabilities and performance characteristics of the eye-protector.( Note : where the ocular and the frame form a single unit, e.g. cover-spectacles, goggles, all markings are on the frame. The marking relative to oculars precedes the marking relative to the frame and the markings are separated by a hyphen. In this case the manufacturers identification mark is not repeated in the marking.)
Example of Marking
Ocular marking: 3-1.2 [S] 1 F
Frame marking: [S] EN 66-F
Code Number
2 UV filter where colour recognition may be affected. See EN170
3 UV filter with good colour recognition. See EN170
4 IR filter. See EN171
5 Sunglare filter ( without infra red specification). See EN172
6 Sunglare filter ( with infra red specification). See EN172
Note: No code number – for welding and related techniques. See EN 169
1.2 Shade Number (1.2, 1.4 etc…16)
Guidance is given in European standard EN169,170,171,172.
note:
Code number + shade number = scale number.
UV = ultra violet/ IR = infra red
[S] Manufacturers dentification mark
1 Optical class – 1,2 or 3.
The lower the number the higher the optical quality.
F, -F Mechanical strength
S Increased robustness
F,-F Low energy impact of high speed particles
B,-B Medium energy impact of high speed particles, (goggles or face shields only)
A,-A High energy impact of high speed particles, (face shields only)
Other markings which may appear on oculars and/or frames
K Resistance to surface damage by fine particles.
N Resistance to logging
4 Liquids. For liquid droplets use goggles only, for liquid splashes use face shields only.
5 Large dust particles, (>5 microns). Goggles only
6 Gasses, vapours, sprays, smoke and fine dust particles (<5 microns) Goggles only
7 Short circuit electric arc. Face shields only.
8 Splashes of molten metals and preparation of hot solids. Goggles or face shields only.
