What are the standards for safety goggles in laboratory and industrial settings?
Safety goggles must comply with specific standards to ensure adequate protection. In the United States, goggles must meet the American National Standards Institute (ANSI) Z87.1 standard for impact resistance and durability. In Europe, the EN 166 standard specifies the requirements for personal eye protection. These standards ensure that the goggles are tested and certified for use in hazardous environments, including those encountered in catalysis research.
