2、ved February 14, 2018Published March 13, 2018American National Standards Institute, Inc.Approval of an American National Standard requires review by ANSI that therequirements for due process, consensus, and other criteria for approval havebeen met by the standards developer.Consensus is established
3、when, in the judgement of the ANSI Board ofStandards Review, substantial agreement has been reached by directly andmaterially affected interests. Substantial agreement means much more thana simple majority, but not necessarily unanimity. Consensus requires that allviews and objections be considered,

21、Bibliography . 32 iiiiiForeword (This foreword is not part of American National Standard ANSI Z80.3-2018.)Summary of Changes to ANSI Z80.3 for 2018This 2018 revision clarifies testing of photosensitive lenses, making requirements inthis standard consistent with international standards.Background and
22、 summary of past revisions for ANSI Z80.3Changes made in 2015 include revised requirements for prism power and imbalance;clarification of luminous transmittance variations, tolerances, and requirements; up-dated requirements for frame flammability and new requirements for frame durability;and severa
23、l new definitions and a new figure demonstrating assessment of cosmeticlens quality.Changes made in 2010 were the addition of subclauses addressing resistance to ra-diation; revision of the photosensitive lens qualification test; addition of the definitionof polarizing efficiency; correction of the
24、equations for the calculation of mean trans-mittance; addition of country of origin labeling; and addition of an equation to theNotes under Table 5.The purchasers and users of nonprescription sunglasses and fashion eyewear needto be assured of certain minimum levels of performance and quality in the
25、se prod-ucts. These are either implicit expectations in the product performance, or safety.The purchaser of the product does not ordinarily have the means to properly assessthese characteristics.In order to accomplish these goals, it is necessary to establish commonly accepteddefinitions, equations,
26、 sources, and methodology so that manufacturers can produceproducts to meet the standard.This American National Standard specifies impact-resistant characteristics; cosmet-ic, refractive, and transmittance properties of lenses; and the flammability and dura-bility of frames and lenses.Cosmetic, refr
27、active, transmittance, and frame properties specified herein are intend-ed as guidelines, and therefore they are subject to revision since there is a need tostudy further the validity of these property specifications as related to actual normaluse requirements.The Z80.3 Subcommittee was organized in
28、 December 1970 and had its first meetingon January 7, 1971. The committee usually meets formally twice per calendar year,and members review material by email, phone, or fax throughout the year. Workinggroups may be formed to investigate specific projects.This standard contains one annex, which is in
29、formative and is not part of this stan-dard.Suggestions for improvement of this standard will be welcome. Suggestions shouldbe sent to The Vision Council, 225 Reinekers Lane, Suite 700, Alexandria, VA22314.ivThis standard was processed and approved for submittal to ANSI by the AccreditedStandards Co
30、mmittee Z80 (ASC Z80). Committee approval of this standard does notnecessarily imply that all committee members voted for its approval.

33、that fade to a luminous transmittance greater than 75% are covered. Lenses with less than 75% luminous transmittance anywhere on the lenses are not suitable for driving under low light conditions, such as but not limited to twilight or night. 2 Normative References The following standards contain pr

Box 979050, St. Louis, MO 63197-9000 (Website: www.gpo.gov) ANSI Z80.3-2018 3 3 Definitions 3.1 Capable of withstanding an impact test The ability of a lens to withsta
39、nd impact as determined by 100% testing or by testing of a statistically significant sample (for example, conforming to the requirements of ANSI/ASQC Z1.4) of each production batch, or at the option of the manufacturer, as an integral part of the manufacturing process. Capability of withstanding an
40、impact test is determined by testing at any feasible stage of manufacture, as described in 5.1.1 and 5.1.2. 3.2 Reference point The point on a lens blank, unmounted lens, or finished lens at which refractive properties, and around which transmittance properties, are specified and measured. 3.2.1 Int
41、ended visual axis When specified, the point on a lens coincident with the wearers interpupillary distance or other known or presumed line of sight. 3.2.2 Geometric center When the intended visual axis is not specified, the geometric center shall be the reference point. The geometric center is the po
42、int midway between the two vertical tangents and midway between the two horizontal tangents of the edges of a finished lens. For a one-piece or goggle lens intended to cover both eyes, the vertical midline of the lens may be used to determine the geometric center of the portion of the lens for each
43、eye. 3.3 Lens fracture A lens is considered to have fractured when it cracks through its entire thickness and across a complete diameter into two or more separate pieces, or when any piece of lens material visible to the naked eye becomes detached from the ocular surface, or if the test ball passes
44、through the lens. 3.4 Lens types 3.4.1 General purpose lens A lens whose nominal luminous transmittance is at least 8% and that allows the apparent chromaticity of Standard Illuminant D65, when viewed through the lens, to fall within the boundary for daylight (4.10.2.1 part 4, and Figure 1). 3.4.2 G
45、radient tint lens A lens whose luminous transmittance varies significantly across the lens. 3.4.3 Photosensitive lens A lens whose luminous transmittance or color, or both, depends on the recent exposure history of the lens. 3.4.4 Polarizing lens A lens whose luminous transmittance varies with the a
46、mount and orientation of the polarization in the incident light. ANSI Z80.3-2018 4 3.4.5 Special purpose lens 3.4.5.1 Strongly colored lens A lens that causes the apparent chromaticity of Standard Illuminant D65, when viewed through the lens, to fall outside of the boundary for daylight (4.10.2.1 pa
47、rt 4, and Figure 1). 3.4.5.2 Very dark lens A lens whose nominal luminous transmittance is between 3% and 8%. 3.4.6 Uniform tint lens A lens whose luminous transmittance does not vary significantly over the area of the lens. 3.5 Noncorrective impact-resistant lenses Glass lenses, plastic lenses, or
48、laminated glass lenses made impact resistant by any method. However, all such lenses shall be capable of withstanding the impact test described in 5.1. 3.6 Production batch An identifiable group of lenses of essentially the same curvature, thickness, and material, manufactured under essentially the
49、same conditions and during a substantially continuous production period. 3.7 Refractive properties 3.7.1 Astigmatic power A measure of the maximum refractive power difference between any two meridians within a lens. 3.7.2 Prismatic power Expressed in prism diopters (), the apparent displacement, in centimeters, of an object located 1 meter from the lens in the meridian of maximum displacement. 3.7.3 Refractive power Expressed in diopters (D), the reciprocal of the back focal length of a lens measured in meters. 3.8 Transmittance properties Computational data for tran
