Specifies minimum requirements for eye protectors and associated lenses designed to provide protection for people's eyes in the industrial environment. Types of protection offered are for molten metal, airborne particles and fragments, harmful gases, vapours and aerosols, and sunglare and optical radiation in the natural environment. Markings for lenses to indicate the type of protection offered are also included.

This Standard specifies minimum requirements for eye protectors and associated lenses designed to provide protection for the eyes of persons in industrial undertakings against common industrial hazards such as flying particles and fragments, dusts, splashing materials and molten metals, harmful gases, vapours and aerosols. Requirements for optical qualities and low, medium and high impact resistance are given and appendices describing appropriate test methods are included in this Standard.The aim of this Standard is to assist in the provision of safe, efficient and comfortable vision in the industrial situation, including consideration of the need for protection against sunglare and optical radiation in the natural environment.NOTE: The Standard does not apply to filter lenses for protection against optical radiations generated by industrial processes, which are dealt with in AS/NZS 1338, or to lenses for protection against laser radiation.
