CEN/TC 85/WG 1 - Sunglare eye protectors

ISO 12312-2:2015 applies to all afocal (plano power) products intended for direct observation of the sun, such as solar eclipse viewing.
ISO 12312-2:2015 does not apply to the following:
a)    afocal (plano power) sunglasses and clip-ons for general use intended for protection against solar radiation;
b)    eyewear for protection against radiation from artificial light sources, such as those used in solaria;
c)    eye protectors specifically intended for sports (e.g. ski goggles or other types);
d)    sunglasses that have been medically prescribed for attenuating solar radiation;
e)    prescription sunglass lenses.

This EN specifies requirements and test methods for eye protectors for snowmobile users. They are intended to protect the user from risks of mechanical impacts, corneal freezing, and from factors which may adversely affect the wearer's vision, such as UV radiation, sunglare and fogging.

This European Standard is applicable to ski goggles which are used for eye-protection during downhill skiing and other downhill activities, like snowboard.
For snow mobile use EN 13178 applies.

This European standard specifies the scale numbers, transmittances and related requirements for sunglare filters for industrial use. Other valid requirements for these types of filters are specified in EN 166.

This European Standard specifies the scale numbers, transmittances and related requirements for sunglare filters for industrial use. Other valid requirements for these types of filters are specified in prEN 166.   Selection criteria and information on use of these filters are given in Annex A.   This standard does not apply to filters for protection against radiation from artificial light sources such as those used in solaria. EN 170 applies for these filters.   This standard does not apply to ski goggles for which a separate standard is in preparation or for other types used for leisure activities.  A separate standard for sunglasses and sunglare filters for general use is in preparation.

CMC - Editorial error, Equation 3 to be added

This European Standard specifies physical properties (mechanical, optical etc.) for sunglasses and sunglare filters of nominal plano power which are not prescription lenses, intended for protection against solar radiation for general use, for social and domestic purposes, including road use and driving. This European Standard specifies also requirements for filters for the direct observation of the sun (e.g. during eclipses). Guidance for selection and use of these filters is given in Annex E. For sunglasses and sunglare filters for industrial use, EN 166 and EN 172 apply.

This European Standard does not apply to ski goggles, for which EN 174 applies, or other types of eye protection used for leisure activities.
This European Standard does not apply to sunglasses and filters that have been medically prescribed for attenuating solar radiation.
