SAFETY EYEWEAR
EN166
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
|
3 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 |
|
