When it comes to protective eyewear, it's important to understand the differences between ANSI Z87 and ANSI Z87.1 standards to make an informed decision about the eyewear you choose.
Neven Eyewear offers Z87 eyewear, and while it meets the minimum requirements set by ANSI Z87, it does not meet the enhanced criteria of ANSI Z87.1.
ANSI Z87 vs. ANSI Z87.1
The American National Standards Institute (ANSI) sets standards for occupational and educational eye and face protection devices. ANSI Z87 is a basic standard that outlines the minimum requirements for protective eyewear, including impact resistance and lens thickness. ANSI Z87.1 is an enhanced version of the standard that builds upon these requirements and includes additional tests and criteria for protection against a wider range of hazards.
While both standards provide a minimum level of protection, ANSI Z87.1 offers enhanced protection against a wider range of hazards. Neven Eyewear's Z87 offering exceeds the basic requirements of ANSI Z87, providing reliable protection for a variety of activities and hazards. However, if you require a higher safety rating, you may need to consider eyewear that meets the ANSI Z87.1 standard.
What you should leave with
It's important to understand the differences between ANSI Z87 and ANSI Z87.1 when selecting protective eyewear. Neven Eyewear offers Z87 eyewear that meets the minimum requirements set by ANSI Z87, but if you require a higher level of protection, you may need to choose eyewear that meets the enhanced criteria of ANSI Z87.1. Nevertheless, Neven Eyewear's Z87 offering is still a reliable choice for those who need protective eyewear for a wide range of activities and hazards.
