Ophthalmic optics - Reference method for the testing of spectacle frames and sunglasses for nickel release

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.

Augenoptik - Referenzverfahren für die Bestimmung der Nickellässigkeit von Brillenfassungen und Sonnenbrillen

Dieses Dokument legt das Referenzverfahren für die Bestimmung der Nickellässigkeit von Brillenfassungen, Fertigbrillen, Sonnenbrillen und anderen Produkten zum Augen- und Gesichtsschutz fest.
Das Referenzverfahren unterstützt den Nachweis der Einhaltung des in der Europäischen Verordnung festgelegten Grenzwerts von 0,5 μg/cm2/Woche für die Nickellässigkeit.
Das Referenzverfahren umfasst die in Bild 1 dargestellten und in Abschnitt 4 beschriebenen Schritte.
Dieses Dokument gilt für diejenigen Teile von Metall-Brillenfassungen sowie diejenigen Teile von Kombinations-Brillenfassungen, die bestimmungsgemäß in direkten und länger dauernden Kontakt mit der Haut des Trägers kommen. Dieses Dokument gilt weiterhin für die entsprechenden Metallteile von Fertigbrillen, Sonnenbrillen und anderen Produkten zum Augen- und Gesichtsschutz.
ANMERKUNG Das Referenzverfahren für alle Produkte mit Ausnahme von Brillenfassungen, Fertigbrillen, Sonnen-brillen und anderen Produkten zum Augen- und Gesichtsschutz ist in EN 1811 festgelegt.

Optique ophtalmique - Méthode d'essai de référence relative à la libération du nickel par les montures de lunettes et les lunettes de soleil

Le présent document spécifie la méthode d'essai de référence pour la libération du nickel par les montures de lunettes, les lunettes de vue, les lunettes de soleil et autres articles pour la protection des yeux et du visage.
La méthode de référence soutient la démonstration de la conformité avec la valeur limite de libération du nickel de 0,5 µg/cm2/semaine fixée par le Règlement européen.
La méthode de référence implique les étapes indiquées sur la Figure 1 et décrites à l'Article 4.
Le présent document s'applique aux parties des montures de lunettes en métal et aux parties en métal des montures de lunettes combinées qui sont destinées à venir en contact direct et prolongé avec la peau du porteur. Il s'applique également aux parties en métal pertinentes des lunettes de vue, des lunettes de soleil et autres articles pour la protection des yeux et du visage.
NOTE   La méthode de référence pour les articles autres que les montures de lunettes, les lunettes de vue, les lunettes de soleil et autres articles de protection pour les yeux et le visage, est spécifiée dans l'EN 1811.

Očesna optika - Referenčna preskusna metoda za ugotavljanje sproščanja niklja iz okvirjev očal in sončnih očal

Ta dokument določa referenčno preskusno metodo za ugotavljanje sproščanja niklja iz okvirjev očal in sončnih očal. Referenčna metoda omogoča dokazovanje skladnosti z mejno vrednostjo sproščanja niklja 0,5 μg/cm2/teden, ki je določena z evropskimi predpisi. Referenčna metoda vključuje postopkovne ukrepe, prikazane na sliki 1 in opisane v točki 4. Ta dokument velja za dele kovinskih okvirjev očal in kovinske dele okvirjev kombiniranih očal, ki so v neposrednem in dolgotrajnem stiku s kožo uporabnika. Ta dokument velja tudi za ustrezne kovinske dele konfekcijskih očal, sončnih očal in drugih pripomočkov za zaščito oči in obraza. OPOMBA Referenčna preskusna metoda za izdelke, ki niso okvirji očal, konfekcijska očala, sončna očala in drugi pripomočki za zaščito oči in obraza, je določena v standardu EN 1811.
