American National Standard for Occupational and Educational Eye and Face Protection Devices

It covers all types of protector configurations including spectacles (plano and prescription), goggles, face shields, welding helmets and full face-piece respirators.

The Z87+ is required when claims of compliance such as impact rating or a specific lens type and/or use are made by the manufacturer for plano protectors
