  Sun Glare Reduction Tested

  EN 172:1994 is a standard designed to assess the sun glare reduction capabilities of filters used in eye protectors. The purpose of this standard is to ensure that these filters effectively reduce glare from sunlight, enhancing visual comfort and safety for the wearer. Marking Tested means that it has undergone testing to evaluate its ability to reduce glare from the sun. The test method involves exposing the filter to simulated sunlight and measuring the reduction in glare experienced by the wearer. Filters meeting this standard must demonstrate significant glare reduction, thereby improving visibility and reducing eye strain in bright outdoor conditions. The practical implications of this result are notable, as it ensures that eye protectors equipped with these filters offer enhanced comfort and safety for users, particularly in environments with intense sunlight exposure, such as construction sites, outdoor sports, and driving.

• EN 166:2001

  EN 166:2001 is a European standard for personal eye protection. It sets the guidelines for safety eyewear like goggles and face shields. It includes requirements for impact resistance, lens clarity and field of vision. Test results will show if the eyewear meets the standard's requirements or not.

• PPE Category 2

  PPE stands for "personal protective equipment." PPE Category 2 refers to equipment that is more complex, and has a higher level of risk. Examples of PPE Category 2 include safety helmets, ear protection, and fall arrest equipment. In Europe, PPE Category 2 must meet certain safety standards set by the European Union, which means that it must be designed and manufactured to protect the user without causing harm. Companies that make or sell PPE must prove that it meets these standards. They also must have a quality management system in place and have to be audited regularly by a notified body.

• CE Marking

  CE Marking is a label that shows a product meets certain safety and environmental standards set by the European Union. To get the CE Marking, a company must test and certify their product meets these standards. CE Marking is required for many products sold in the EU, including electronics, machinery, toys and medical devices. It helps ensure that products are safe for consumers and the environment, and allows for easy trade within the EU.
