Eye & Face Protection
ANSI/ISEA Z87.1-2025
ANSI/ISEA Z87.1-2025, American National Standard for Occupational and Educational Personal Eye and Face Protection Devices, helps employers and safety professionals select eye and face protection based on workplace hazards, including impact, non-ionizing radiation, and liquid splashes. The updated standard establishes performance, testing, marking, and selection requirements for protective equipment, including safety glasses, goggles, face shields, and welding helmets.
What’s new?
Expanded clarification and requirements for product markings, including prescription lens carriers and additional marking examples
Updated testing language for impact resistance, lens haze, and minimum coverage requirements to support consistent testing
Improved organization and clarification of hazard-specific requirements for easier interpretation and application
Added cross-reference to ANSI/ISEA Z87.62-2021, which addresses protection against sprays or spurts of blood, body fluids, and other potentially infectious materials
The result: clearer performance requirements and product markings to help employers evaluate eye and face protection, compare products, and select appropriate equipment for workplace hazards.
