ANSI Z87.1
ANSI Z87.1 — Eye and face protection (United States)
ANSI Z87.1 is the United States standard for eye and face protection. It is the equivalent role to EN 166 for the US market — and it is not interchangeable with it: a buyer supplying a US site needs the Z87.1 marking, not an EN marking.
What it covers
- Impact protection ratings and the marking that identifies them (Z87+ for high impact)
- Optical requirements and coverage
- Protection against specific hazards such as dust, splash and molten metal
Documents you can ask for
- Z87.1 marking on the product
- Test report for the impact rating purchased
- Declaration of conformity to ANSI Z87.1
