EN 1938:2010 (E) 5 1 Scope This European Standard specifies requirements and test methods for goggles for use by all motorcycle and moped drivers and passengers, intended for eye-protection during the use of motorcycle and moped, both on the road and for off-road sport or leisure use, subject to the following exclusion. The goggles for official races and competitions are not included within the scope of this standard. 2 Normative references The following referenced documents are indispensable for the application of this document.

EN 1836:2005+A1:2007 apply. 4 Requirements 4.1 General All the samples tested shall comply with the requirements of this European Standard. Goggles can be provided with different oculars. 4.2 Design and manufacture Goggles shall be free from projections, sharp edges or other defects which are likely to cause discomfort or injury during use. The verification of this requirement shall be made according to 5.11 and 5.12. 4.3 Materials Any materials (or combination of materials) may be used, provided they meet the requirements of this European Standard. SIST EN 1938:2010



EN 1938:2010 (E) 6 No parts of the goggles which are in contact with the wearer shall be made of materials that are known to cause irritation, allergic or toxic reaction amongst a significant proportion of users. Examples for documents which can be presented as evidence of chemical innocuousness are given in the note below. NOTE The following list of documents is given for information and as examples of documents that can be examined when checking on the innocuousness of materials: materials specifications; safety data sheets relating to the materials; information relating to the suitability of the materials for use with food, in medical devices, or other relevant applications; information relating to toxicological, allergenic, carcinogenic, toxic to reproduction or mutagenic investigations on the materials; information relating to ecotoxicological and other environmental investigations on the materials. The examination of documents or of the goggles shall determine whether the claim that the materials are suitable for use in the protective goggle is justified. Particular attention should be paid to the presence of plasticisers, unreacted components, heavy metals, impurities and the chemical identity of pigments and dyes. All metallic materials which could come into prolonged contact with the skin (e.g. hinge, rim and bridge) shall be tested according to EN 1811 for nickel release. The release of nickel shall be less than 0,5 µg/cm2/wk. 4.4 Sit and fit Goggles shall be so designed and manufactured that they will sit securely in position on the face when used as intended, and will adapt to the shape of the wearer’s face by means of contact surfaces made of soft flexible material. The retaining strap shall be designed to be flexible or adjustable and sit securely when fitted according to the manufacturer’s instructions. The retaining strap shall be capable of withstanding any stress which occurs during proper use without tearing or being permanently deformed. The verification of this requirement shall be made according to 5.12. 4.5 Ventilation Design measures shall exist ensuring that the inside of the goggles is ventilated during use. Such measures shall be outside the oculars’ areas and shall not reduce the peripheral vision significantly. The verification of this requirement shall be made with a visual inspection according to 5.11. When goggle are provided with opening to allow circulation of air, the vented portion shall be such that openings shall exclude spherical objects 1,5 mm in diameter or larger. NOTE The necessary rate of air exchange and the design of the ventilation openings depend heavily on the weather, speed of driving and the individual conditions (e.g. sweating), which means that generally applicable requirements cannot be stipulated. 4.6 Optical requirements 4.6.1 Field of vision The size of the field of vision is defined in conjunction with the appropriate head-form described in Clause 17 of EN 168:2001. The goggles shall exhibit a minimum field of vision defined by the two ellipses in Figure 1 when placed and centred at a distance of 25 mm from the surface of the eyes of the appropriate head-form. The horizontal axis shall be parallel to and 0,7 mm below the height of the line connecting the centres of the two eyes. The plane of the ellipses shall be parallel to the back flat portion of the head-form. The horizontal length of the ellipses shall be 32,0 mm, the vertical width of the ellipses shall be 25,0 mm. The centre distance (d) of the two ellipses shall be d = c + 20 mm, where c is the pupillary distance. The pupillary SIST EN 1938:2010



EN 1938:2010 (E) 7 distance is 64 mm for the medium head-form and 54 mm for the small head-form, or it may be specified differently by the manufacturer. The test shall be carried out in accordance with 5.3. Dimensions in millimetres

4.6.2.2 Permissible transmittance and filter categories There are three transmittance categories for oculars for goggles for motorcycle and moped users. The range of the luminous transmittance for these three categories is given by the values in Table 2. An overlap of the transmittance values of not more than ±
2 % (absolute) is permitted between the categories 0,1 and 2. If the supplier declares a luminous transmittance value, the tolerance for the value is ±
3 % absolute for transmittance values. When describing the transmittance properties of photochromic filters, two categories for transmittance values are generally used. These two values correspond to the faded state and to the darkened state of the filter. In the case of gradient filters the transmittance value at the reference point is used to characterise the luminous transmittance / category of the oculars. Table 2 also specifies the mandatory UV requirements for oculars for goggles for motorcycle and moped users. Oculars for which the enhanced infrared absorption is claimed, shall meet the requirements of the last column of Table 2. SIST EN 1938:2010

All oculars shall have a luminous transmittance value greater than or equal to 18 %. 4.6.2.4 Requirements for road driving 4.6.2.4.1 Recognition of signal lights

If the only difference between oculars is the colour, the compliance can be verified only on one type. 4.7.2 Impact resistance The requirement is satisfied if the goggles withstand the impact of a steel ball, when tested in accordance with 5.8.

The size of the field of vision of goggles for children shall be measured with a perimeter in conjunction with the small size head-form of EN 168:2001. The goggle shall be mounted as shown in Figure 2 so that the two axes of rotation A and B and the optical axis C intersect in the front surface of one eye at the interpupillary distance.

On this screen the two ellipses shown in Figure 3 are drawn. The horizontal length of the ellipses shall be of 320 mm, the vertical width of the ellipses shall be of 250 mm. The centre distance of the two ellipses shall be d' = c + (200 ± 1) mm, where c is the pupillary distance. The pupillary distance is 64 mm for the medium head-form and 54 mm for the small head-form, or it may be specified differently by the manufacturer. In this case, for a pupillary distance up to 56 mm the small head-form shall be used for the test. The horizontal axis shall be parallel to and 7 mm below the height of the line connecting the centres of the two eyes. The plane of the ellipses shall be parallel to the back flat portion of the head-form.
