ANSI Z87.1-1989 (R 1998) Practice for Occupational/Educational Eye and Face Protection

This standard for eye and face protective devices is performance-oriented in intent. Every effort was made to develop requirements that assure the wearer of protection consistent with or better than ANSI Z87.1-1979. The new standard recognizes the Bureau of Labor Statistics study that revealed the need for angular protection in addition to frontal protection. Results of a study by the American Welding Society have been used to update and improve requirements for transmittance of devices intended for protection against optical radiation.
