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).

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

[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.

NOTE Figures are not to scale, dimensions of the reference distances are given in Tables 2 and 3.

Figure 3 — Dimensions and reference distances

The dimensions of the reference distances for the six adult headforms as defined in Table 1 are given in

Tables 2 and 3 for reference only.

For comparison of dimensions, testing of eye and face protectors and building headforms, the CAD files

shall be used. Dimensions in the CAD file are given in millimetres (nominal, unless toleranced) and

are available from the International Standards Organisation's website https:// standards .iso .org/ iso/

18526/ -4/ ed -1/ en.

The tolerances throughout this document including Tables 2 and 3 shall follow standard engineering

drawing practice. All values for Tables 2, 3 and those in Annex B shall be ±0,1 mm. The tolerances for

manufacturers of the headforms are ±2 % when comparing the manufactured headform measurements

to the CAD data.

The dimension “Eye apex to superior attachment of the pinna (Vertical)” has been set to 1,0 mm. This

was done to provide a reference plane for the other measurements and causes the headforms to appear

to be leaning forward.

The pupil has a diameter of 5 mm, the pinhole for the attachment of the rod locating the ear point 2,0 mm.

large type 1 headforms

NOTE 1 Some of these distances have been rounded to integral values for testing – refer to the appropriate

product's requirements standard.

NOTE 2 These dimensions are indicative only – the data in the CAD files are used.
