Foreword
ISO (the International Organization for Standardization) is a worldwide federation of national standards
bodies (ISO member bodies). The work of preparing International Standards is normally carried out
through ISO technical committees. Each member body interested in a subject for which a technical
committee has been established has the right to be represented on that committee. International
organizations, governmental and non-governmental, in liaison with ISO, also take part in the work.
ISO collaborates closely with the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) on all matters of
electrotechnical standardization.
The procedures used to develop this document and those intended for its further maintenance are
described in the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 1. In particular the different approval criteria needed for the
different types of ISO documents should be noted. This document was drafted in accordance with the
editorial rules of the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2 (see www .iso .org/ directives).
Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this document may be the subject of
patent rights. ISO shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights. Details of
any patent rights identified during the development of the document will be in the Introduction and/or
on the ISO list of patent declarations received (see www .iso .org/ patents).

ISO 18526-4:2020(E)
Introduction
The family of documents comprised of the ISO 16321 series, the ISO 18526 series and the ISO 18527
series was developed in response to the worldwide stakeholders' demand for minimum requirements
and test methods for eye and face protectors traded internationally. ISO 4007 gives the terms and
definitions for all the various product types. The test methods are given in the ISO 18526 series, while
the requirements for occupational eye and face protectors are given in the ISO 16321 series. Eye
protectors for specific sports are mostly dealt with by the ISO 18527 series. A guidance document,
ISO 19734, for the selection, use and maintenance of eye and face protectors is under preparation.
The basic anatomical requirements of the users of eye and face protection are to be considered when
selecting an appropriate size of protector for comfortable and functional use. This document provides
the anthropometric and biomechanical data required to prepare headforms used for the testing of
protectors. The headform dimensions (series 1 and 2) are based on measurements of humans by the
USA's National Institute of Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH), which is part of the Centers for
Disease Control and Prevention.
This document provides headform dimensions based on measurements of humans. Further
information is given in Annex A and Annex B, which, together with Figure 3, are reproduced with
NIOSH's and the authors' permission. Figures 2 and 3 show the headforms that are slightly modified to
show better eye detail.

4 Headforms
4.1 Classification of adult headforms
Six different sizes of headforms are used for testing as given in Table 1.
Table 1 — Classification of headforms for eye and face protectors
Small Medium Large
1-S 1-M 1-L
2-S 2-M 2-L
Statistically these six headforms cover approximately 95 % of the population included in this document.
Annex A and Annex B provide detailed information on the data collection and the human populations
ISO 18526-4:2020(E)
that the data is measured from. The information in Annex A and Annex B are from References [2][3]
[15][16].
Examples of the headforms are given in Figures 1 and 2. The individual figures are not to the same scale
as each other, so for accurate details use the CAD files.
