Safety Eyewear Standards: ANSI vs. EN166 Explained | RX Safety

In this video, we discuss the difference between two common safety rating indications: ANSI and EN166. ANSI, which is the American Safety Standards Organization, is in charge of assessing the effectiveness of safety glasses and giving them a rating. They test for parameters like impact, heat, splash and dust resistance, and radiation. ANSI uses the Z87 label to properly identify the safeness of a pair of glasses. EN166 is the European standard that tests similar parameters, but at different degrees. To be EN166 approved, a pair of glasses must meet the requirements of EN167 and EN168. By understanding the nuances that set ANSI and EN166 apart, you’ll be equipped with the knowledge needed to make an informed decision when choosing the perfect protective eyewear.
