  Mechanical Strength F

  EN 166:1995 is a standard that specifies requirements for personal eye protection in various environments, focusing on the durability and safety of eyewear. The 'Mechanical Strength F' designation indicates that the eyewear has been tested and certified to withstand low-energy impact, specifically able to resist a 6 mm, 0.86 g ball traveling at 45 meters per second. This test involves firing the ball at the protective eyewear to ensure it can protect the wearer's eyes from such impacts without breaking or causing injury. Eyewear meeting the 'F' result is suitable for use in environments where there is a risk of smaller, slower-moving projectiles, such as in woodworking, light manufacturing, and general laboratory work. This level of protection helps prevent eye injuries from low-energy impacts, enhancing safety for individuals in these settings.

• 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.
