ANSI ISEA Z87-1 sets forth criteria related to the requirements, testing, permanent marking, selection, care, and use of protectors to minimize the occurrence and severity or prevention of injuries from such hazards as impact, non-ionizing radiation and liquid splash exposures in occupational and educational environments including, but not limited to, machinery operations, material welding and cutting, chemical handling, and assembly operations. Certain hazardous exposures are not covered in this standard. These include, hut are not limited to: bloodhorne pathogens, X-rays, high-energy particulate radiation, microwaves, radio-frequency radiation, lasers, masers, and sports and recreation.
2.2 Purpose
ANSI ISEA Z87-1 provides minimum requirements for protectors including selection, use, and maintenance of these protectors as devices to minimize or prevent eye and face injuries.
2.3 Application
2.3.1 The requirements of ANSI ISEA Z87-1 apply to protectors when first placed in service.
2.3.2 Protectors bearing the permanent marking Z87 shall meet all applicable requirements of this standard in its entirety.
