EYE PROTECTION EYE PROTECTION Eye & Face Protection Welding Protection Technical Attributes uvex ultrasonic flip-up · uvex 9350 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 TABLE A Description of Mark Under EN166 Symbol & Location Frame Lens 9302.043 Optical Class - The first digit seen after EN166 notation Class 1 (high optical quality) Suitable for occasional wear. Refractive power of ± 0.06 dioptres Class 2 (medium optical quality) Suitable for occasional wear. Refractive power of ± 0.12 dioptres Class 3 (low optical quality) Only suitable for exceptional wear. Refractive power of ± 0.25 dioptres Mechanical Strength Minimum Robustness Increased Robustness (12m/s) Low Energy Impact (45m/s) Medium Energy Impact (120m/s) High Energy Impact (190m/s) Resistance to high speed particles at extremes of temperature -5˚C to +55˚C Field(s) of Use Liquids (droplets or splashes) Large Dust Particles (particles size >5µm) Gas & Fine Dust Particles (smoke/dust with particle size <5µm) Resistance to Short Circuit Electric Arc Molten Metal and Hot Solids Hard Coat - resistance to damage by fine particles (optional) Non-Mist - resistance to misting (optional) Enhanced reflectance (optional) Radiant Heat - mesh type protection only Eye protector designed to fit a small head Type of Eye-Protector & Comments 1 Normal optical quality for all safety spectacles & goggles 2 When seen within a specification the figure 2 usually refers to the standard EN170 and not optical class, see tables b, c &d When seen within a specification the figure 3 usually refers to the standard EN170 and not optical class, see tables b, c &d 3 N/A F B A N/A S F B A (T) (T) 3 4 5 8 9 8 9 K N R 9302.045 9302.083 Spectacles with reinforced mineral lenses Faceshields, goggles & spectacles Faceshields & goggles Polycarnoate faceshields (High Energy Impact is rarely required in industrial use and can adversely affect the optical class) Can be seen in conjunction with symbols F, B or A Goggles (indirect vent & unvented) & faceshields Goggles (indirect vent & unvented) Goggles (unvented) Faceshields minimum thickness 1.4mm. 99.9% UV filtration Goggles & faceshields 9302.085 uvex ultrasonic flip-up · 9302 • Sporty design and wide panoramic field of vision • High degree of mechanical strength: B (120 m/s) • High level of protection for professional welders • Comprehensive side protection around the eye area, even when worn over prescription spectacles • Perfect colour recognition in line with uvex sun glare filters • Indirect ventilation ensures pleasant interior environment • New filter technology, UV and IR radiation protection • Flip-up welding lens which can easily be replaced • Minimum damage from welding sparks • Can be worn over most prescription spectacles • Soft materials aid compatibility with respirators and other items of PPE Gold coated visors G H 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 9302.043 green-black W 166 349 B CE Lens PC clear / UV 400 2-1.2 W 1 B9 KN DIN CE uvex supravision excellence Flip-up PC grey / UV 400 + IR welding shade 3 3 W 1 CE uvex infradur Replacement lens flip-up Art. no. 9302.083 Lens PC grey / UV 400 + IR welding shade 3 3 W 1 CE uvex infradur 2 & 3 4 5 & 6 1.2 to 16 See tables (C) & (D) for more in depth explainations 2 & 3 = UV Fliters to EN170 4 = IR Filter to EN171 5 & 6 = Solar Filters (sun protection) to EN172 1.2 to 16 = Welding Filters for spectacles & goggles to EN169.
