This document specifies requirements and test methods for eyewear intended for surface swimming only. It contains requirements for eyewear for both recreational and specialist competitive swimming. It deals with materials, construction, optical properties and test methods.

Requirements for the labelling and marking of swimming eyewear and for information to be supplied by the manufacturer are also specified.

Eyewear intended for surface swimming conforming to the requirements of this standard are suitable for surface use and shallow diving only, e.g. from the edge of a pool, and are not suitable for wear when diving from a high board.

This standard applies to eyewear that include:

a) non-prescription nominally plano or afocal lenses,

b) non-prescription mass-produced corrective lenses, and

c) prescription lenses.

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 periorbital area. For the guidance on patient eye protection during ILS procedures, see ISO/TR 22463.

Guidance on use and selection of ILS eye protectors – see ISO 12609-2.

This document does not apply to:

— laser protectors, for which ISO 19818 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 series applies; protectors used with tanning equipment;

— protectors intended to protect against ionizing radiation, e.g. X-rays, for which IEC 61331-3 applies.
