into two or more pieces, being pierced or allowing the

Flame Propagation: Materials used in the construction of
protectors should withstand heat so that the burning rate of
the material will be no greater than 100mm per minute.
Thermal Stability: Materials used in the construction of
protectors shall be stable at elevated temperatures and will
show no physical distortion in optical properties or strength.
Protection Against Corrosion: When tested for corrosion, the
materials shall have a smooth surface free from corrosion.

What does AS/NZS1337.1:2010 Standard
test for?
A number of requirements need to be met before any eye
protection can meet this Standard. All eye protection must
meet the following criteria:
General Finish: The eye protector must be onished correctly
and not cause injury or discomfort during use.
Materials: Materials should not cause skin irritation, abrasion
or skin discolouration.
Optical Properties of Lenses: Lenses that ofer protection,
provide no distortion and are comfortable to wear.
Ventilation: Eye protectors that completely seal the eyes
must provide ventilation (Note: some medium and high impact
protectors are exempt from this requirement).
Dimensional requirements for face shields and spectacles:
The minimum vertical dimension for face shields is 150mm
from the lower edge of the browguard to the lower edge of
the visor. For spectacles a length of not less than 42mm and a
depth of not less than 32mm is required.
Lateral Protection: In addition to 8impact9 testing, eye
protectors claiming impact resistance greater than low
impact resistance must also provide lateral protection. This is
evaluated by placing the eye protector on a manikin head and
being subjected to horizontal impact using a metal rod about 2
metres long and 22mm in diameter.
Low Impact Protection: All eye protection should be capable
of withstanding the relevant test for low impact.
Medium Impact Protection: Medium impact protection is
required for wide vision goggles, wide vision spectacles,
faceshields and eye shields.
High Impact Protection: High impact resistant shields
should be worn during impact tasks including metal chipping,
hydraulic nailing or any mechanical procedure involving high
velocity machinery.
What is the diference between safety
glasses and safety goggles?
Safety glasses do allow air in and around the eye area and
despite providing protection for many workplace scenarios, are
not suitable for others. Safety goggles ot tight against the face
ofering protection against dust and splashes. Choose a model
that suits your work environment and application.
