ISO (the International Organization for Standardization) is a worldwide federation of national standards

bodies (ISO member bodies). The work of preparing International Standards is normally carried out

through ISO technical committees. Each member body interested in a subject for which a technical

committee has been established has the right to be represented on that committee. International

organizations, governmental and non-governmental, in liaison with ISO, also take part in the work.

ISO collaborates closely with the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) on all matters of

series, while the requirements for occupational eye and face protectors are in the ISO 16321- series.

Eye protection for specific sports is mostly dealt with by the ISO 18527- series. A guidance document

for the selection, use and maintenance of eye and face protectors is in preparation.

This document specifies additional material, design, performance and marking requirements for mesh

protectors designed to provide protection for the eyes and faces of persons against mechanical hazards
