This document specifies a method for simulating the release of nickel from those parts of spectacle frames and sunglasses intended to come into direct and prolonged contact with the skin in order to determine whether they release nickel at a rate greater than 0,5 µg/cm2/week.

This European Standard specifies the reference method for the testing of spectacle frames, ready-to-wear spectacles, sunglasses and other items for eye and face protection for nickel release.
The reference method supports the demonstration of conformity with the limit value for nickel release of 0,5 µg/cm2/week set forth by European Regulation.
The reference method involves the procedural steps shown in Figure 1 and described in Clause 4.
This document applies to those parts of metal spectacle frames and those metal parts of combination spectacle frames that are intended to come into direct and prolonged contact with the skin of the wearer. This document also applies to those relevant metal parts of ready-to-wear spectacles, sunglasses and other items for eye and face protection.
NOTE   The reference method for articles apart from spectacle frames, ready-to-wear spectacles, sunglasses and other items for eye and face protection is specified in EN 1811.

This European Standard specifies a method for simulating the release of nickel from those parts of spectacle frames and sunglasses intended to come into direct and prolonged contact with the skin in order to determine whether they release nickel at a rate greater than 0,5 µg/cm2/week.
NOTE 1   This European Standard, FprEN 16128, has been prepared in reply to the European Commission's Mandate M/448 addressed to CEN. From the technical point of view, this European Standard provides an unchanged re-publication of the technical requirements that had previously been specified in EN 1811:1998, but restricted in scope to apply only to spectacle frames and sunglasses.
NOTE 2   Users of this European Standard may wish to note that, also in reply to the European Commission's Mandate M/448, this European Standard is currently subject to review with the objective of developing a new standardized method to supersede this European Standard when the new method becomes available.
NOTE 3   Nickel release testing of products other than spectacle frames and sunglasses is specified in prEN 1811:2009.

This document specifies the reference method for the testing of spectacle frames and sunglasses for nickel release.
The reference method supports the demonstration of conformity with the limit value for nickel release of 0,5 µg/cm2/week set forth by European Regulation and makes provision for a uniform application and control of the European legislation in all member states.
The reference method involves the following procedural steps (see also Clause 4):
-   Simulation of wear and corrosion;
-   EIS coating test (optional);
-   Laboratory test: Release of nickel and its quantitative analytical detection.
This document applies to those parts of metal spectacle frames and those metal parts of combination spectacle frames that come into direct and prolonged contact with the skin of the wearer. This document also applies to those relevant metal parts of articles for eye and face protection, including sunglasses.
The EIS coating test method can be applied only to metal parts which have been coated with an organic, electrically insulating, layer.
This document does not apply to products other than spectacle frames and articles for eye and face protection, which includes sunglasses.
NOTE   The reference method for products other than spectacle frames and of articles for eye and face protection, including sunglasses is specified in EN 1811:2011.
