LENS SHADOW CLASSIFICATION based on the transmittance (% of visible light passing through the lens):

These eye protectors are intended for indoor use where no optical radiation hazards exist.

Untinted or lam inated / double glazed

AS/NZS 1337.1: 2010 Australian and New Zealand standard for Eye Protectors for Industrial Applications. This standard describes features of safety eyewear in terms of general finishing, optical properties or the lenses and impact resistance.

Outdoor untinted These eye protectors are intended for indoor and outdoor use where no optical radiation hazards exist other than solar radiation. They are intended to provide adequate protection against ultravoilet radiation from the sun, but are not intended to provide protection against sunglare. Outdoor tinted These eye protectors are intended for outdoor use where no optical radiation hazards exist other than solar radiation. They are intended to provide adequate protection against sunglare and ultraviolet radiation from the sun.
