Introduction
This 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.

Introduction
This family of documents was developed in response to the worldwide stakeholder's 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.

3 Terms and definitions
For the purposes of this document, the terms and the definitions given in ISO 4007 and the following apply.
ISO and IEC maintain terminological databases for use in standardization at the following addresses:
— IEC Electropedia: available at http:// www .electropedia .org/
— ISO Online browsing platform: available at http:// www .iso .org/ obp
For the purposes of this document, “goggle” or “goggles” shall be taken to mean goggles for downhill
skiing, snowboarding and other similar activities.
4 General requirements for goggles
4.1 Headforms
Unless the manufacturer defines the applicable headforms according to ISO 18526-4 to be compatible
with the goggle, the test methods where headforms are required shall use the headform 1-M according
to ISO 18526-4 as the default.
4.2 Construction
Areas of the goggles that may, during intended use, come into contact with the wearer shall be smooth,
without sharp protuberances that may cause discomfort or injury to the wearer. This shall be tested by
physical inspection in accordance with ISO 18526-3:6.1.
4.3 Lens material and surface quality
In a circular area 30 mm diameter centred on the reference point but excluding a marginal area 5 mm
wide around the edge of the lens if this overlaps with the circular area, filters shall have no material or
machining defects that may impair vision, e.g., bubbles, scratches, inclusions, dull spots, pitting, mould
marks, notches, reinforced areas, specks, beads, water specks, pocking, gas inclusions, splintering,
cracks, polishing defects or undulations. Outside this zone, small isolated material and/or surface defects
may be acceptable. This shall be tested by visual assessment in accordance with ISO 18526-3, 6.6.
4.4 Physiological compatibility
Goggles shall be designed and manufactured in such a way that, when used under the conditions and
for the purposes intended, they will not compromise the health or safety of the wearer. The risks
posed by substances leaking or evaporating from the goggle that can come into prolonged contact
with the wearer, shall be reduced by the manufacturer to within the limits of any existing regulatory
requirement. Special attention shall be given to substances that are allergenic, carcinogenic, mutagenic
or toxic to reproduction.
NOTE 1 Excessive pressure due to a poor fit on the face, chemical irritation or allergy is known to produce
reactions. Rare or idiosyncratic reactions to any material are known to occur and the individual wearer is well
advised to avoid those types of frame materials.
NOTE 2 Specific national regulations with regard to restriction of certain chemical substances should be
observed, for example release of nickel in Europe.

4.5 Retention by headband and harnesses (sit and fit)
Goggles shall sit in the intended position during normal use and shall adapt to the contours of the face.
The head strap shall be designed to be flexible or adjustable and sit securely on the back of the head or a
helmet. The head strap assembly shall not cause any discomfort nor exhibit any insecurity when tested
in accordance with ISO 18526-3, 6.5.
5 Transmittance
5.1 Test methods
Transmittance values shall be determined in accordance with ISO 18526-2:, Clauses 6 to 11 as
appropriate. Luminous transmittance shall be calculated using CIE standard illuminant D65
(ISO 4007:2018, term 3.9.1.32).
5.2 Transmittance categories
Depending upon their luminous transmittance at their reference point and at (+5 ± 2) °C in the case
of lenses with temperature sensitive transmittance, lenses for downhill skiing and snowboarding use
shall be attributed to one of the five tint categories in Table 1.
The range of the luminous transmittance of these five categories is given by the values in Table 1.
There are only three descriptive groups for use by consumers as shown in Table 8. An overlap of the
transmittance values shall be not more than ± 2 % (absolute) between the categories 0, 1, 2 and 3.
There is no overlap in transmittance values between categories 3 and 4.
If the supplier declares a luminous transmittance value, the maximum deviation for this value shall be
±3 % absolute for the transmittance values falling in categories 0 to 3 and ±30 % relative to the stated
value for the transmittance values falling in tint category 4.
When describing the transmittance properties of a lens with changeable tint, e.g. photochromic, two
categories for transmittance values are generally used. These two values correspond to the highest and
lowest transmittance states of the lens.
In the case of a gradient-tinted lens the transmittance value at the reference point shall be used to
characterize the luminous transmittance and the tint category.
For a gradient-tinted lens, the overlap in luminous transmittance allowed between categories shall be
double that for uniformly tinted lenses.
Table 1 also specifies also the UV requirements for these lenses. If the lenses are claimed by the
manufacturer to protect against IR radiation, the IR requirements in Table 1 apply.

Lenses that are intended to be uniformly tinted shall appear to be visually uniform within a circle 30
mm in diameter around the reference points or to the edge of the lens less the marginal zone 5 mm
wide, whichever is greater,and appear to have the same transmittance at the two reference points
when inspected against a white background in accordance with ISO 18526-3, 6.6. Where there is visible
non-uniformity, then, when tested according to ISO 18526-2, 7.4, the relative difference in the luminous
transmittance value between any two points of the lens shall not be greater than 15 % (relative to the
higher value), except for tint category S4 where it shall not be greater than 20 %.

accordance with ISO 18526-2, 7.5, the difference in luminous transmittance values at the reference
points for the right and left eyes shall not exceed 15 % (relative to the higher transmittance).
5.3.1.2 Linear gradient-tinted lenses
In the case of mounted linear gradient-tinted lenses, when inspected against a white background
in accordance with ISO 18526-3:—, 6.6, the luminous transmittances shall appear constant in the
horizontal direction and having equal transmittance at the reference points. Where there is visible
rotation of the gradient or visibly mismatched transmittances at the reference points, when measured
in accordance with ISO 18526-2, 7.5 the difference in the luminous transmittances between pairs
of points of the lens at the reference points and 15 mm to the left, to the right, above and below the
reference point shall not exceed 15 % (relative to the higher value).
5.3.1.3 Radial gradient-tinted lenses

Changes of luminous transmittance that are caused by thickness variations due to the design of the lens
are permitted. For verification, the test method in ISO 18526-2, 7.4.1.4 shall be used.
5.3.2 Ultraviolet transmittance of the frame or housing
When tested in accordance with ISO 18526-2, Clause 6, non-lens areas of goggles shall provide at least
the same level of protection against ultraviolet radiation, for the area to be protected according Clause
12, as given by a lens of any tint category declared usable with the goggle by the manufacturer or
supplier.
5.4 Special transmittance requirements

their planes of transmission, when tested according to ISO 18526-2, 15.1, shall not deviate from the
vertical by more than ±5°. When the goggle is fitted with two separate lenses, any misalignment
between the planes of transmission of the left and right lenses shall not be greater than 6°.
5.4.2.2 Polarizing efficiency
When tested according to ISO 18526-2, 15.2, the polarization efficiency shall be > 78 % for lens
