This document specifies minimum requirements for light-weight protectors designed to provide protection for the eyes or eyes and face from biological hazards, such as pathogenic micro-organisms in human or other animal bodily fluids that can deposit onto the face or eyes. NOTE 1 Typical scenarios for use include healthcare, retail and transport settings. This document specifies requirements for both single-use (disposable) and re-usable (disinfectable) products or components. This document applies to all afocal (plano) and prescription lensed protectors and their components. This document does not cover the respiratory equipment required for protection against aerosols, which can be used in conjunction with these eye protectors, and for which other standards apply. This document does not apply to — protectors intended for protection from specific hazards, e.g. mechanical hazards, harmful artificial optical radiation, dusts, molten metals, heat, flame, hot solids, harmful gases, vapours (refer to ISO 16321-1 to ISO 16321-3), — protectors specifically for sports (refer to the ISO 18527 series), — protectors for lasers (refer to ISO 19818-1), and — respiratory protection against aerosols (refer to ISO/TS 16975-4). NOTE 2 Guidance related to the specific selection, use and maintenance is provided in Annex A. NOTE 3 Where eye and face protection is incorporated in protective equipment, such as a hood, full face respirators, powered air purifying respirators (PAPR) hoods and headtops, the relevant requirements of this document apply to the components providing eye and face protection.

This document specifies general requirements for operators' eye protectors for intense light source (ILS) equipment used on humans and animals for cosmetic and medical applications against excessive exposure to optical radiation in the spectral range 250 nm to 3 000 nm, with the exception of laser radiation.
This document is applicable to devices intended for patient protection during ILS procedures, except for treatment in the periorbital area. For guidance on patient eye protection during ILS procedures, see ISO/TR 22463.
For guidance on the use and selection of ILS eye protectors, see ISO 12609-2.
This document does not apply to:
— laser protectors, for which ISO 19818-1 applies;
— protectors for medically prescribed applications (not occupational), e.g. eye protection for severe dry eye, tints prescribed for medical conditions;
— protectors specifically intended for protection against only solar radiation and used in non-occupational environments for which the ISO 12312 (all parts) applies;
— protectors used with tanning equipment;
— protectors intended to protect against ionizing radiation, e.g. X-rays, for which IEC 61331-3 applies.

This document specifies requirements for design, performance, test methods and markings for industrial protective helmets. The requirements apply to helmets for general use in industry.
Additional performance requirements for special applications are included to apply only when specifically claimed by the helmet manufacturer.
Industrial protective helmets are intended to reduce the risk of head injuries caused by impacts and therefore can reduce consequential effects.

This document specifies physical and performance requirements, test methods and marking requirements for industrial protective helmets. This document describes the requirements for two helmet types. Type I — intended to protect the upper part of wearer’s head against impacts that may occur in an industrial setting, such as a falling object. Type II — intended to protect the head against impacts that may occur in an industrial setting, such as a falling object or a fall. NOTE The Type II helmet is intended to offer protection from falls from standing or a low height, e.g. standing height elevated by up to one metre. The Type II helmet is not intended to offer protection to the head in all falls and is unlikely to prevent serious head injury or death in uncontrolled falls from one level to another or from a position elevated on a ladder or scaffolding. The selection of a Type II helmet should be considered as one part of an overall safe system of work in the context of working at heights and managing the risks of falls from greater than two metres.

This document specifies requirements on construction, design, performance, marking and user information for earplugs.
In particular, it specifies requirements regarding the sound attenuation of the earplugs, measured in accordance with EN ISO 4869-1:2018.
This document applies to earplugs designed for users who are able to follow supplied instructions and understand the related risks, can fit the earplugs correctly and can give feedback on the performance.
Ergonomic aspects are addressed by taking into account, within the requirements, the interaction between the user, the device and where possible the working environment in which the device is likely to be used (see Annex ZA and EN 458).
