PHYSICAL REQUIREMENTS
Criteria ANSI/ISEA Z87.1-2003 ANSI/ISEA Z87.1-2010 Notes/Rationale
Minimum Lens Thickness
Criteria for individual
protectors:
Section 7.3.2
Section 7.5.2.2
Section 8.2.2.2
Section 9.2.2.2
Section 5.3, Table 3 (criteria)
No change.
Drop-Ball Impact Resistance
Criteria for individual
protectors. See:
Section 7.3.1
Section 7.4.1
Section 7.5.1
Section 8.2.2.1
Section 9.2.2.1
Section 10.2.2.1
Section 14.4 (test method)
Section 5.2.1 (criteria)
Section 9.6 (test method)
Applies part of the “basic
impact” lens test from 2003
version to a full assembly as
an indicator of minimum
overall robustness and is
universally applied rather than
being protector dependent.
1 in. ball
2.4 oz.
50 in. drop
Flammability
Criteria for individual
protectors. See:
Section 7.6
Section 8.6
Section 9.6
Section 10.6
Section 14.6 (test method)
Replaced with ignition test.
(see below)
Not representative of realistic
use as it measured resistance
to material igniting from
contact with hot metal rather
than the unlikely event that
the device will be in flames.
Ignition test (as noted below)
replicate more realistic
assessment for protectors.
