8、mmittee PH/2/9, Eye-protectors for leisure activities. This is anticipated to be the first of several parts of BS 7930, each specifying requirements for eye-protectors for one or more racket sports. Research is ongoing into requirements for other sports. Part 1 of BS 7930 is limited to eye protectio
9、n for the sport of squash. The eye-protectors are intended to confer protection when playing squash and are designed to reduce significantly, or to minimize, injury to the eye and the adnexa due to impact. Comfort is a prime consideration if players at every level of play are to be persuaded to wear
10、 eye-protectors. It is important that the eye-protector does not mist or cause problems due to perspiration. It is also important that the eye-protector is held firmly to the face, and does not move during play nor intrude unduly into the field of view. The eye-protector is intended to cause minimum
11、 interference with the players game and is also intended to cause no injury to other players. This standard excludes eye-protectors designed to be worn over other spectacles. It is not possible to judge the safety of such eye-protectors, because during an impact, injury to the eye may be caused by t
12、he underlying spectacles, the quality and style of which may vary, and which may not meet any safety standard. A British Standard does not purport to include all the necessary provisions of a contract. Users of British Standards are responsible for their correct application. Compliance with a Britis
13、h Standard does not of itself confer immunity from legal obligations. Summary of pages This document comprises a front cover, an inside front cover, pages i and ii, pages 1 to 4, an inside back cover and a back cover. BSI 1998 1 BS 7930-1:1998 1 Scope This part of BS 7930 specifies design, manufactu
14、re and performance requirements for eye-protectors, for use by players of the game of squash. Requirements for the marking of eye-protectors and for information to be supplied by the manufacturer are also specified. This standard applies only to eye-protectors with polycarbonate oculars. It applies
15、to eye-protectors which incorporate prescription lenses, but not to eye-protectors designed for use over spectacles. 2 Normative references The following normative documents contain provisions which, through reference in this text, constitute provisions of this part of this British Standard.
