Eye and face protection for occupational use - Part 3: Additional requirements for mesh protectors (ISO 16321-3:2021)

This document specifies additional requirements for mesh protectors designed to provide protection
for the eyes and faces of persons against mechanical hazards such as impacts from flying particles and
fragments.
The other applicable requirements for mesh protectors and the frames/mountings to which they are
intended to be fitted are given in ISO 16321-1.
This document specifies materials, design, performance requirements, and marking requirements for
mesh protectors that are different from and/or supplement ISO 16321-1.
This document is not applicable to protectors for use against liquid splash (including molten metal), hot
solid risks, electrical hazards, infrared and ultraviolet radiation. For protection against these hazards
suitable additional or alternative protectors according ISO 16321-1 will be needed.
Mesh protectors for use in sports such as fencing are excluded.

Augen- und Gesichtsschutz für berufliche Anwendungen - Teil 3: Zusätzliche Anforderungen an Schutzgeräte aus Gewebe (ISO 16321-3:2021)

Dieses Dokument legt zusätzliche Anforderungen und die Kennzeichnung von Schutzgeräten aus Gewebe fest, die so ausgelegt sind, dass sie Augen und Gesicht von Personen vor mechanischen Gefährdungen, wie z. B. herumfliegenden Partikeln und Bruchstücken, schützen. Die anderen Anforderungen an Schutzgeräte aus Gewebe und an die Tragkörper/Halterungen, an denen sie zu befestigen sind, sind in ISO 16321-1 enthalten.
Dieses Dokument gilt auch für Schutzgeräte aus Gewebe, die in Bildungseinrichtungen angewendet werden.
Dieses Dokument gilt auch für diejenigen Augen- und Gesichtsschutzgeräte, die bei der Ausübung von Aufgaben des beruflichen Typs, z. B. Heimwerken, angewendet werden, die ähnlich einem Beruf ausgeführt werden.
Dieses Dokument gilt nicht für Schutzgeräte, die als Spritzschutz (einschließlich Schutz vor geschmolzenen Metall) oder zum Schutz vor Risiken durch heiße Festkörper, Infrarot- und ultravioletter Strahlung dienen. Für den Schutz vor diesen Gefährdungen werden geeignete zusätzliche oder alternative Schutzgeräte nach ISO 16321-1 benötigt.
Dieses Dokument gilt nicht für Schutzgeräte aus Gewebe, die bei Sportarten wie dem Fechten getragen werden.

Protection des yeux et du visage à usage professionnel - Partie 3: Exigences complémentaires relatives aux protecteurs grillagés (ISO 16321-3:2021)

Le présent document spécifie les exigences complémentaires applicables aux performances et au marquage des protecteurs de type grillagé destinés à assurer une protection des yeux et du visage des personnes contre les risques mécaniques, tels que les impacts de particules et fragments projetés. Les autres exigences applicables aux protecteurs de type grillagé et aux montures/supports sur lesquels ils sont destinés à être montés sont données dans l'ISO 16321‑1.
Le présent document s'applique également aux protecteurs de type grillagé utilisés dans les établissements de formation.
Le présent document s'applique également aux protecteurs des yeux et du visage utilisés pour des tâches de type professionnel, qui sont exécutées de la même manière que dans un cadre professionnel, par exemple le bricolage.
Le présent document ne s'applique pas aux protecteurs destinés à être utilisés contre les projections de liquides (y compris métaux fondus), les risques associés aux solides chauds et les rayonnements infrarouges et ultraviolets. Des protections complémentaires ou de remplacement appropriées, conformément à l'ISO 16321‑1, sont nécessaires pour assurer une protection contre de tels risques.
Le présent document ne s'applique pas aux protecteurs de type grillagé utilisés dans les sports tels que l'escrime.

Zaščita za oči in obraz za poklicno uporabo - 3. del: Dodatne zahteve za mrežne ščitnike za oči in obraz (ISO 16321-3:2021)

Ta dokument določa dodatne zahteve za mrežne ščitnike, ki so zasnovani za zaščito oči in obraza oseb pred mehanskimi nevarnostmi, kot so udarci letečih delcev in drobcev.
Druge veljavne zahteve za mrežne ščitnike in okvirje/pritrdilne elemente, na katere se namestijo ščitniki, so podane v standardu ISO 16321-1.
Ta dokument določa materiale, zasnovo, zahtevane lastnosti in označevanje za mrežne ščitnike, ki se razlikujejo od standarda ISO 16321-1 in/ali ga dopolnjujejo.
Ta dokument se ne uporablja za ščitnike, ki ščitijo pred brizganjem tekočin (vključno s staljeno kovino), nevarnostmi vroče trdne snovi, električnimi nevarnostmi ter infrardečim in ultravijoličnim sevanjem. Za zaščito pred temi nevarnostmi so potrebne ustrezne dodatne ali alternativne vrste zaščite v skladu s standardom ISO 16321-1.
Mrežni ščitniki, ki se uporabljajo pri športu, kot je sabljanje, ne spadajo na področje uporabe tega standarda.

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

Introduction
This family of documents 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 in the ISO 18526-
series, while the requirements for occupational eye and face protectors are in the ISO 16321- series.
Eye protection for specific sports is mostly dealt with by the ISO 18527- series. A guidance document
for the selection, use and maintenance of eye and face protectors is in preparation.
