EN 166

EN 166 F (Spectacles)

• Impact resistance:
  • Method: a 6 mm diameter spherical projectile made of steel weighting 0.86 g is fired at 45 m/s against the protective eyewear, and it must not have any deformation.
  • Maximal energy: 0.87 J.
• How to check compliance:
  • EN 166 F must be marked on ocular and frame.
• Notes:
  • This standard can only be used on spectacles.

EN 166 B (Goggles)

• Impact resistance:
  • Method: a 6 mm diameter spherical projectile made of steel weighting 0.86 g is fired at 120 m/s against the protective eyewear, and it must not have any deformation.
  • Maximal energy: 6.19 J.
• How to check compliance:
  • EN 166 B must be marked on ocular and frame.
• Notes:
  • This standard can only be used on goggles.

EN 166 A (Faceshields)

• Impact resistance:
  • Method: a 6 mm diameter spherical projectile made of steel weighting 0.86 g is fired at 190 m/s against the protective eyewear, and it must not have any deformation.
  • Maximal energy: 15.52 J.
• How to check compliance:
  • EN 166 A must be marked on ocular and frame.
• Notes:
  • This standard can only be used on face shields.

STANAG 4296

ANSI Z87.1

ANSI Z87.1+ (Spectacles)

• Impact resistance:
  • Method: a 6.35 mm diameter spherical projectile made of steel weighting 1.06 g is fired at 45.72 m/s against the protective eyewear, and it must not have any deformation.
  • Maximal energy: 1.11 J.
• How to check compliance:
  • ANSI Z87.1+ must be marked on ocular and frame.
• Notes:
  • This standards displays the same marks across all protective eyewear, thus this variant is only suitable for spectacles.

ANSI Z87.1+ (Goggles)

• Impact resistance:
  • Method: a 6.35 mm diameter spherical projectile made of steel weighting 1.06 g is fired at 76.20 m/s against the protective eyewear, and it must not have any deformation.
  • Maximal energy: 3.01 J.
• How to check compliance:
  • ANSI Z87.1+ must be marked on ocular and frame.
• Notes:
  • This standards displays the same marks across all protective eyewear, thus this variant is only suitable for goggles.

ANSI Z87.1+ (Faceshields)

• Impact resistance:
  • Method: a 6.35 mm diameter spherical projectile made of steel weighting 1.06 g is fired at 91.44 m/s against the protective eyewear, and it must not have any deformation.
  • Maximal energy: 4.43 J.
• How to check compliance:
  • ANSI Z87.1+ must be marked on ocular and frame.
• Notes:
  • This standards displays the same marks across all protective eyewear, thus this variant is only suitable for faceshields.
