General Information
Relations
Overview
EN ISO 16321-3:2022 (ISO 16321-3:2021) is the CEN-adopted international standard that defines additional performance and marking requirements for mesh protectors used for eye and face protection in occupational settings. It covers mesh-type guards intended to protect against mechanical hazards - primarily impacts from flying particles and fragments - and complements the general requirements in ISO 16321‑1. The standard applies to workplace use, educational establishments and occupational-style “do‑it‑yourself” tasks, but it excludes protection against liquid splash, molten metal, hot solids, infrared/ultraviolet radiation and sports applications (e.g., fencing).
Key topics and requirements
The document focuses on mesh-specific issues and references relevant test methods and definitions. Key technical topics include:
- Luminous transmittance of mesh protectors - visibility and light transmission considerations for safe use.
- Number and geometry of apertures - criteria that affect particle ingress and impact behaviour.
- Contact with metal parts - requirements to limit harmful contact or sharp edges.
- Reflection from mesh - minimising glare and distracting reflections that could impair vision.
- Additional or alternative lenses - rules for combinations of mesh with other lens types.
- Marking and labelling - mandatory and optional markings for both mesh and frames (detailed marking clauses and an example are included).
- Manufacturer information - instructions, limitations of use and safety data that must accompany products.
The standard cross-references ISO 18526 series for test methods and ISO 4007 for terms/definitions and provides conformity relevance under EU Regulation 2016/425 (Annex ZA), giving a presumption of conformity when cited in the Official Journal.
Applications
EN ISO 16321-3:2022 is intended for:
- Manufacturers and designers of mesh eye/face protectors, to ensure product design meets mesh-specific performance and marking rules.
- Procurement and safety professionals responsible for selecting PPE suitable for tasks with mechanical hazards (flying particles/fragments).
- Testing laboratories and conformity assessors using referenced ISO test methods to verify compliance.
- Educational institutions and DIY markets where mesh protectors are supplied for similar occupational tasks.
Typical use-cases include workshop operations, construction and manual trades where mechanical impact hazards are present but not where splash, heat or radiative hazards dominate.

SIST EN ISO 16321-3:2022 표준은 눈과 얼굴 보호 장비에 관한 추가 요구 사항을 규정하고 있습니다. 본 표준의 범위는 주로 메쉬 보호구가 기계적 위험으로부터 눈과 얼굴을 보호하기 위해 필요한 성능 및 마킹 요구 사항을 명시하고 있습니다. 이러한 위험에는 날아오는 파편이나 파편 충격이 포함됩니다. ISO 16321‑1에서 제시된 메쉬 보호구 및 해당 장착 프레임에 대한 다른 적용 가능한 요구 사항을 참조할 수 있습니다. 이 표준은 교육 기관에서 사용하는 메쉬 보호구에도 적용됩니다. 또한, "DIY"와 같은 직업과 유사한 작업을 수행하는 경우 사용하는 눈과 얼굴 보호 장비에도 적용됩니다. 그러나 이 문서는 액체 튀김(용융 금속 포함), 고온 고체 위험, 적외선 및 자외선 방사선에 대한 보호 장비에는 적용되지 않으며, 이러한 위험으로부터 보호하기 위해서는 ISO 16321‑1에 따라 적합한 추가 또는 대체 보호 장치가 필요합니다. 또한, 스포츠, 예를 들어 펜싱과 같은 활동에서 사용되는 메쉬 보호구에도 적용되지 않습니다. 이 표준의 강점은 기계적 위험으로부터 사용자 보호를 더욱 강화할 수 있는 명확한 추가 성능 요구 사항과 마킹 요구 사항을 제공한다는 점입니다. 이는 메쉬 보호구 사용자들에게 안전성을 높여주는 중요한 요소입니다. 교육 및 직업 관련 작업에서의 활용 가능성 또한 이 표준의 실용성을 높이며, 다양한 작업 환경에서 안정적으로 사용할 수 있도록 지침을 제공합니다. 따라서 SIST EN ISO 16321-3:2022는 직업적인 작업에서의 눈과 얼굴 보호에 있어 필수적인 기준이 될 것입니다.
Le document SIST EN ISO 16321-3:2022 définit des exigences supplémentaires de performance et de marquage pour les protecteurs en maille destinés à la protection des yeux et du visage contre les risques mécaniques, notamment les impacts causés par des particules volantes et des fragments. Cette norme constitue une avancée significative dans la standardisation des moyens de protection en milieu professionnel, en répondant à des besoins spécifiques liés à la sécurité au travail. L'étendue de cette norme inclut non seulement les protecteurs en maille mais également les montures et cadres auxquels ils sont destinés. Cela permet d'assurer une cohérence dans l'évaluation et l'utilisation de ces dispositifs de sécurité. En intégrant des exigences adaptées aux établissements éducatifs, elle renforce la protection des élèves et des enseignants lors d'activités susceptibles de présenter des risques mécaniques. Un des points forts de cette norme est son application non seulement dans des environnements industriels, mais aussi dans des tâches de type occupationnel réalisées dans des contextes de loisir, comme le bricolage. Cela élargit considérablement la portée des protecteurs en maille, garantissant une protection adéquate dans divers scénarios. Cependant, il est important de noter que cette norme ne couvre pas les protecteurs destinés à se défendre contre les éclaboussures de liquides, les risques de solides chauds, ou encore les radiations infrarouges et ultraviolettes. Pour ces types de dangers, des protecteurs supplémentaires ou alternatifs, en se référant à la norme ISO 16321‑1, sont requis. Cette clarification assure que les utilisateurs soient bien informés des limites d'utilisation des protecteurs en maille. Dans le contexte sportif, notamment pour des disciplines telles que l'escrime, la norme souligne clairement qu'elle ne s'applique pas aux protecteurs de ce type, reconnaissant ainsi les exigences très spécifiques en matière de sécurité dans le sport. En somme, la norme SIST EN ISO 16321-3:2022 représente un document clé pour établir des critères clairs concernant la sécurité des yeux et du visage en milieu professionnel, tout en élargissant son application à des environnements éducatifs et de loisir. Elle fournit une base solide pour promouvoir des pratiques sûres et un peu plus standardisées dans l’utilisation de protecteurs en maille.

Dies verdeutlicht die Relevanz und Flexibilität der Norm in verschiedenen Kontexten. Ein weiterer starker Punkt des Standards ist die klare Abgrenzung der anwendbaren Schutzarten. Es wird eindeutig darauf hingewiesen, dass der Standard nicht für den Schutz gegen Flüssigkeitsspritzer, heiße Feststoffe, infrarote und ultraviolette Strahlung geeignet ist. Diese Klarheit sorgt dafür, dass Anwender gezielte Entscheidungen treffen können, welche zusätzlichen oder alternativen Schutzausrüstungen gemäß ISO 16321‑1 erforderlich sind. Die Norm ist auch von Bedeutung für Hersteller und Anbieter von Gesichtsschutzvorrichtungen, da sie klare Richtlinien für die Gestaltung und Kennzeichnung von Netzschutzvorrichtungen bietet. Dadurch wird die Markttransparenz erhöht und die Sicherheit der Benutzer gewährleistet. Insgesamt bietet der Standard EN ISO 16321-3:2022 eine solide Grundlage für den Schutz von Augen und Gesicht in mechanischen Gefährdungen, während er gleichzeitig die Benutzerfreundlichkeit und Anwendung durch eine extensive Definition seines Anwendungsbereichs fördert.
