Wouldn't it make sense for ANSI to designate
different parts of the standard for different
applications, so that users would know [or could be
taught] that Z87.1a is for splash, Z87.1b is for
impact, etc?
-or- Perhaps tacking on a suffix letter like:
-C for chemical
-I for impact
-U for UV...
The real problem is not that there is no labeling
on the eye wear parts, its that the labeling is
not specific enough. What people need is a simple
>statement that a particular item is good for high
impact work, chemical splash, IR,
>UV, etc. Face sheilds, in particular, should have
right on them that they are
>not eye rated for impact eye protection since
this is a common mistake that
>people make.

companies that were doing

the side sheilds of impact wear

see is the cryptic Z87.1.
