Scope1.1 This specification covers eye protectors, designed foruse by players of racket sports, womens lacrosse, field hockey,basketba
3、ll, baseball, and soccer that minimize or significantlyreduce injury to the eye and adnexa due to impact andpenetration by racket-sport rackets and balls, womens lacrosseand field hockey sticks and balls, baseballs, soccer balls, hands,elbows, and fingers. Protective eyewear offers protection onlyto
4、 the eyes and does not protect other parts of the head.1.2 Protectors are divided into three types depending ontheir design characteristics.1.3 This specification applies to eye protectors for use bywearers of corrective lenses and also by those players who donot require prescription eyewear. (Warni

The word “should” indi-cates a recommendation.1.5 Failure of the product occurs when the protector isunable to
6、 meet the general, mechanical, and optical (if appli-cable) requirements of the standard.1.6 The values stated in SI units are to be regarded as thestandard. The values given in parentheses are for informationonly. Metric units of measurement in this specification are inaccordance with the Internati
7、onal System of Units (SI). If avalue for measurement as given in this specification is followedby an equivalent value in other units, the first stated is to beregarded as the requirement. A given equivalent value may beapproximate.1.7 The following precautionary caveat pertains only to thetest metho
