| Abstract |
This report describes tests of flexible fitting safety goggles advertised as meeting the requirements of the ANSI standard Z87.1. An attempt was made to include all models currently available in the United States having clear lenses and direct ventilation. Fifty individual models were tested. A general description of each test is included along with a discussion of the test results. Performance tests covered: impact and penetration; haze and luminous transmittance; flammability; refractive power; water absorption; corrosion; deterioration from routine disinfection. Several variations from the requirements of the standard were noted. The majority of these variations were minor in that they do not relate directly to the safety of the user. There were no failures in the more important impact and penetration tests. Performance tests results are given in tabular form. |
