Unfortunately and respectfully, Richard is mistaken. I did not say this and
I gave no such advice. Not even close.
What I said was "It (Z-87.1) does not require the manufacturer to mark the
device to distinguish the proper use." Big difference.
The marking does not tell you which device is appropriate for which
activity/hazard. It would be much more helpful if the ANSI Z-87.1 standard recommended
the placement of the device letter from the selection chart after the Z-87.1
mark.
I also noted "It does not require the manufacture to obtain independent
third-part verification that the criteria of the standard had been met (as
does the
Z-358.1 standard for eyewash and safety shower)."
Anyone disagree? ... Jim
