Precision Eyewear Laboratory | Eyewear Supply Chain Compliance Solutions | Eyewear Testing Product Types

PEL conducts comprehensive safety glasses testing to ensure the highest quality and compliance with global standards. PEL’s experts understand that the quality of safety glasses can never be compromised. Our safety glasses testing focuses on their ability to resist UV rays, infrared rays, and electromagnetic wave radiation; as well as dust, soot, metals, gravel debris, and also sputtering damage of chemical solutions and other hazardous liquids.

We routinely test the many types of safety glasses, including:

Anti-dust glasses
Anti-strike glasses
Safety glasses especially for chemical use
Anti-radiation glasses

Safety Glasses Quality and Performance Standards That We Test

According to PPE directives, safety glasses are classified as a category I product in the personal safety directive. All safety glasses should comply with the standards and requirements of the directive, or they will not be permitted to be sold in the EU market.

Meanwhile, many countries and regions worldwide have also developed safety and performance standards for safety spectacles, such as:

ANSI/ISEA Z87.1: Defines performance criteria for eye protection against impacts, radiation, and chemical exposures in occupational settings.
EN 167: Specifies the basic optical requirements for personal eye protectors, including clarity and refractive integrity.
EN 168 Details non-optical testing methods for eye protectors, such as resistance to corrosion, ignition, and mechanical stresses.
EN 172: Sets the requirements for sun glare protection in safety eyewear, including transmittance and scale number specifications.
EN ISO 16321-1: Focuses on mesh eye and face protectors and outlines requirements for material durability and protective performance.
JIS T 8141: Japanese standard for personal eye protectors, ensuring protection from particles, chemicals, and radiation in workplace environments.
BS EN 167: This British standard mirrors the European standard EN 167, specifying basic optical requirements for clarity and refractive properties in personal eye protectors.
BS EN 168: This standard, the British adaptation of EN 168, details non-optical testing methods for eye protectors, such as resistance to corrosion, ignition, and mechanical stresses.
BS EN 172: The British adaption of EN 172 sets out requirements for sunglasses and sun glare filters in safety eyewear, including specifications for light transmission and filter properties.
BS EN ISO16321-1: British adoption of the international standard for mesh protectors, ensuring compliance with global safety and performance criteria.
