What is EN166?
EN166 is the core technical standard to which all PPE involved in protecting the eyes or face must be approved. Within the standard,
there are numerous levels of compliance, depending on the end use of the piece of equipment in question. Table (A) describes the

What do EN169, 170,171 & 172 relate to?
These are the standards that deal with the shade and filtering characteristics of the lenses of eye protectors. They indicate the levels
of protection afforded against Ultraviolet light, Infrared light, Sunlight and against the high intensity light produced during Welding
processes. The numbers used to describe these characteristics appear only on the lenses of the eye protector; table (B) below
illustrates how these numbers relate to specific European Standards.
The 1st digit after the EN ref is the ‘Code Number’ indicating the
type of filter, except for EN169 where only a shade number appears
The 2nd & 3rd digits after the EN ref are the ‘Shade Numbers’ and
indicate the shade of the lens
