prEN 166

Personal eye-protection - Specifications

This European Standard specifies functional requirements for various types of personal eye-protectors and incorporates general considerations such as:
_ designation;
_ classification;
_ basic requirements applicable to all eye-protectors;
_ various particular and optional requirements;
_ allocation of requirements, testing and application;
_ marking;
_ information for users.
The transmittance requirements for various types of filter oculars are given in separate standards (see clause 2).
This European Standard applies to all types of personal eye-protectors used against various hazards, as encountered in industry, laboratories, educational establishments, DIY activities, etc. which are likely to damage the eye or impair vision, with the exception of nuclear radiation, X-rays, laser beams and low temperature infrared (IR) radiation emitted by low temperature sources.
The requirements of this standard do not apply to eye-protectors for which separate and complete standards exist, such as laser eye-protectors, sunglasses for general use, etc. unless such standards make specific reference to this standard.
The requirements of this standard apply to oculars for welding and allied processes but do not apply to equipment for eye and face protection for welding and allied processes, requirements for which are contained in EN 175.
Eye-protectors fitted with prescription lenses are not excluded from the field of application. The refractive power tolerances and other special characteristics dependent upon the prescription requirement are specified in EN ISO 8980-1 and EN ISO 8980-2.

Protection individuelle de l'oeil - Spécifications

La présente Norme européenne définit les exigences d’aptitude à l’emploi des protecteurs individuels de l’œil de types divers et comprend des considérations générales, telles que :
   désignation ;
   classification ;
   spécifications de base applicables à tous les protecteurs oculaires ;
   diverses spécifications particulières et optionnelles ;
   attribution des spécifications, essais et application ;
   marquage ;
   informations pour les utilisateurs.
Les exigences relatives au facteur de transmission des divers types d’oculaires à action filtrante sont données dans des normes séparées (voir Article 2).
La présente Norme européenne est applicable à tous les types de protecteurs individuels de l'œil utilisés contre les divers dangers, pouvant être rencontrés dans industrie, dans les laboratoires, les établissements d'enseignement, dans le cadre des activités de bricolage, etc. susceptibles d’endommager l’œil ou d'altérer la vision, à l’exception des rayonnements d'origine nucléaire, des rayons X et des émissions laser.
Les exigences de la présente norme ne s'appliquent pas aux protecteurs de l'œil pour lesquels des normes séparées et complètes existent, tels que protecteurs de l'œil anti-laser, lunettes solaires à usage général, etc., à moins que de telles normes fassent spécifiquement référence à la présente norme.
Les exigences de la présente norme s’appliquent aux oculaires pour le soudage et procédés connexes mais ne s’appliquent pas aux équipements de protection des yeux et du visage pour le soudage et procédés connexes dont les exigences qui s’y rapportent sont contenues dans l’EN 175.
Les protecteurs de l'œil dotés de verres correcteurs ne sont pas exclus du domaine d’application. Les tolérances de vergence et les autres caractéristiques en corrélation avec l'effet correcteur sont spécifiées dans l'EN ISO 8980 1 et dans l'EN ISO 8980-2.
