Understanding ANSI Z87.1-2003 Standards

These days, the new standard is a voluntary and there is no requirement that manufacturer or end user comply with it unless it is mandated by the United States Department of Labor - OSHA.  However, in the past, most manufacturers have chosen to comply with revisions to the Z87.1 Standard.  Currently, OSHA requires (29 CFR 1910.133) that eye protectors comply with the 1989 version of the Z87.1 Standard, and eye protection devices now in use may continue to be used.

How To Clean Your Safety Glasses In A Pinch

If you don't have immediate access to the ideal and preferred microfiber cleaning cloth or carrying pouch, or our individually wrapped lens cleaning towelettes, you may still clean your lenses in two ways:

Run water over the lens(es), both front and back, to wash away debris.  Gently dry with a clean, non-abrasive cloth, with slow wipes in a single direction.
If water is not available, forcefully blow away excess debris from your lenses. Then use a clean, non-abrasive cloth to gently wipe away remaining debris. This method should rarely be used, and only be done on the outer side of the lenses, as these are more commonly manufactured with a scratch-resistant coating.
