  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.

• EN 172:1994

  EN 172:1994 is a European standard that specifies the requirements and test methods for sunglasses and related eyewear. The standard includes requirements for visual quality, impact resistance, and UV protection. Test results for EN 172:1994 include measurements of the eyewear's transmittance and luminous transmittance, as well as a test for impact resistance.

  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 170:1986

  EN 170:1986 is a European standard that defines the requirements and test methods for the performance of smoke control systems in buildings. The standard specifies the minimum levels of performance that the system must meet, as well as the methods that should be used to test the system to ensure it meets these requirements. Possible test results include the ability of the system to control the spread of smoke, the airflow rate and pressure drop of the system, and the resistance to fire spread.

• 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.
