Eye and face protection - Test methods - Part 2 : Physical optical properties (ISO 18526-2:2020)

This document specifies the reference test methods for determining the physical optical properties of personal eye and face protectors.
This document does not apply to any eye and face protection products for which the requirements standard(s) specifies other test methods.
Other test methods can be used provided they have been shown to be equivalent and include uncertainties of measurement no greater than those required of the reference method.

Augen- und Gesichtsschutz - Prüfverfahren - Teil 2: Physikalisch optische Eigenschaften (ISO 18526-2:2020)

Dieses Dokument legt die Bezugsprüfverfahren für die Bestimmung der physikalisch-optischen Eigenschaften von persönlichen Augen- und Gesichtsschutzgeräten fest.
Dieses Dokument gilt nicht für etwaige Anforderungsnormen für Augen- und Gesichtsschutzprodukte, für die andere Prüfverfahren festgelegt sind.
Andere Prüfverfahren können angewendet werden, sofern ihre Gleichwertigkeit nachgewiesen ist und ihre Präzision die für das Referenzverfahren geforderte nicht übersteigt.

Protection des yeux et du visage - Méthodes d'essai - Partie 2: Propriétés optiques physiques (ISO 18526-2:2020)

Le présent document spécifie les méthodes d'essai de référence pour la détermination des propriétés optiques physiques des équipements de protection individuelle des yeux et du visage.
Le présent document ne s'applique à aucun produit relatif à la protection des yeux et du visage pour lequel les normes d'exigences spécifient d'autres méthodes d'essai.
D'autres méthodes d'essai peuvent être utilisées à condition que leur équivalence ait été démontrée et si les incertitudes de mesure qui leur sont associées n'excèdent pas celles exigées par la méthode de référence.
