Introduction

This family of documents was developed in response to the worldwide stakeholders' demand for minimum requirements and test methods for eye and face protectors traded internationally. ISO 4007 gives the terms and definitions for all the various product types. The test methods are in the ISO 18526 series, while the requirements for occupational eye and face protectors are in the ISO 16321 series. Eye protection for specific sports is mostly dealt with by the ISO 18527 series. A guidance document, ISO 19734¹, for the selection, use and maintenance of eye and face protectors is in preparation.
