Test results

Safety glasses, goggles, and face shields with the EN 172 rating are tested for protection against sun glare, harmful UV radiation, and to ensure clear vision. This means they effectively reduce bright light and block UV rays, helping to prevent eye strain and long-term damage while maintaining good visibility for industrial use.

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.
