Foreword
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
electrotechnical standardization.
The procedures used to develop this document and those intended for its further maintenance are
described in the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 1. In particular the different approval criteria needed for the
different types of ISO documents should be noted. This document was drafted in accordance with the
editorial rules of the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2 (see www .iso .org/directives).
Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this document may be the subject of
patent rights. ISO shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights. Details of
any patent rights identified during the development of the document will be in the Introduction and/or
on the ISO list of patent declarations received (see www .iso .org/patents).
Any trade name used in this document is information given for the convenience of users and does not
constitute an endorsement.
For an explanation on the voluntary nature of standards, the meaning of ISO specific terms and
expressions related to conformity assessment, as well as information about ISO's adherence to the
World Trade Organization (WTO) principles in the Technical Barriers to Trade (TBT) see the following

This document was prepared by Technical Committee ISO/TC 94, Personal safety — Protective clothing
and equipment, Subcommittee SC 6, Eye and face protection.
This third edition cancels and replaces the second edition (ISO 4007:2012), which has been technically
revised. This third edition builds on the second edition, which was partly based on EN 165.
The main changes compared to the previous edition are as follows.
— The word “ocular” has been changed to “lens” to describe the transparent material through which
the wearer looked.
— Some terms have been moved and renumbered to more suitable positions, e.g. some of the terms
that were in the “properties of materials” subclause are now in the “transmittance” subclause.
— 52 new terms have been added, over 100 terms or definitions have been modified and sources have
been updated. Greater information about the source of definitions is given where these have been
copied from other standards.
— The following terms have been deleted: giant-pulsed laser, haze, He-Ne laser, optical class, protective
ocular, radiation power, untinted ocular, very-high-pressure (intensity) mercury vapour lamp.
— A term relating to the transmittance between 380 nm and 400 nm has been added. Although the
definition for UV-A continues to take the wavelength limits of 315 nm to 380 nm, many of the terms
and definitions relating to UV-A allow the upper limit to be either 380 nm or 400 nm, depending
upon the application.
— Terms relating to “mesh protectors” and “additional lenses” have been added for use in the appropriate
standards.
— hyphens have been removed fro
