  Mechanical Strength B

  EN 166:1995 defines the criteria for personal eye protection in terms of mechanical strength and durability, with the 'Mechanical Strength B' designation indicating that the eyewear is capable of withstanding medium energy impact. This classification specifically means the eyewear can resist a 6 mm, 0.86 g ball traveling at 120 meters per second. The test for this involves firing the specified ball at the lens and frame of the eyewear to ensure that it can protect against such impacts without breaking or dislodging. This level of performance is particularly relevant for safety glasses used in environments such as construction sites, workshops, and laboratories, where there is a risk of flying particles and moderate impact hazards. Eyewear meeting the 'B' standard provides essential eye protection, ensuring that users are safeguarded against a significant range of impact-related injuries.

• 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.
