A.1.1.2 Guide device enabling a 22 mm diameter steel ball of mass 44 g to be dropped onto a specified point on the lens. A.1.2 Procedure Place the goggles on the headform in the position corresponding to normal use. T
35、ilt the headform so that the lens to be impacted is horizontal. Adjust the guide so that the 22 mm diameter steel ball of mass 44 g will strike the centre of the lens, and the distance between the lower end of the guide and the lens is 50 mm 10 mm. Release the steel ball from a height of 1.3 m 2 0.0
36、3 0 above the lens. NOTE. This drop height will provide an impact speed of 5.1 m/s. A.1.3 Test report Examine the lens visually and record and report any fracturing or cracking. A.2 Method for the determination of leakage from the eye cup Support the goggles horizontally face downwards above a clean
37、 sheet of white blotting paper. Pour sufficient ink-stained water into the eye cups to give a depth of 5 mm. After 1 h examine the blotting paper for ink. Record and report whether ink can be detected. A.3 Method for the determination of the compressive strength of the eye cup A.3.1 Apparatus A.3.1.

46、r determination of the tensile strength and slip resistance of the bridge strap Adjust the bridge to its greatest length, if it is adjustable. Wet the bridge strap and retaining devices of the goggles. With the goggles maintained in the normal wearing position in relation to the bridge strap, apply
47、a tensile load of 10 N 0.5 N to the bridge strap, in a direction laterally along the axis of the strap. Record any failure of the bridge strap or retainers and any slippage of the bridge strap through the retainers. Annex B (informative) General advice on the use of swimming goggles B.1 Fit B.1.1 Ge
48、neral To ensure the goggles fit well, adjustment of the head strap and bridge strap will be necessary. B.1.2 Head strap The head strap is used to hold the goggles in place; tighter is not necessarily better as this may cause discomfort and marking around the eyes. Correct adjustment can be obtained
49、by tensioning the band until a comfortable fit is achieved. B.1.3 Bridge strap Correct adjustment of the bridge strap is essential for both comfort and a watertight seal. To avoid water intake, slide the lenses closer together or further apart a notch at a time until the correct fit is obtained. B.2 Example of instructions for fitting, adjustment and removal of goggles See figure B.1. To clear water or to adjust goggles, take a firm grip on the eye cup and tilt the lower edge of the eye cup slightly away from the face. To remove goggles,
