SAFETY GLASSES
EN 166:2001 PERSONAL EYE-PROTECTION
The EN 166 standard specifies requirement for personal eye-protectors, used to combat various hazards as encountered across numerous industries which are likely to damage the eye or impair vision. The EN 170 standard specifies requirements for ultraviolet filters, while EN 172 refers to the sun glare filtration for industrial use. All Milwaukee safety glasses are certified according to EN 166, to guarantee the eye protection and the resistance to impact. The clear safety glasses are EN 170 certified, to offer an UV protection, even with clear lenses, while the tinted and polarised safety glasses are EN 172 certified to offer a solar protection, ideal for the jobsite and also during leisure time.
