materials of the spectacles to the substances which are to be handled. This applies also to other means of eye protection. The type of eye protection to be used depends on both the substance to which one is exposed and on the work situation. More than one means of protection is sometimes mentioned. Contact lenses in general give no protection to the eyes in industrial situations. The recommendations on eye protection are the same whether or not contact lenses are worn. Contact lenses can cause extra risks; it is better to not use them at all but to wear safety spectacles with correcting lenses instead.

Indication: This phrase can be combined with 'face shield' or 'eye protection'. This phrase should be applied to all substances that do not require more complete means of protection.

Exceptions: - solids which cannot easily be dispersed, e.g., pastes; or - gases in cylinders which are in themselves not dangerous to the eyes.

580003 P1 eye protection 19207000

Explanation: Depending on the work situation, this alternative to any of the preceding means of eye protection has to be used for substances that are both dangerous to the eyes AND: - involve a great risk of inhalation of a harmful vapour concentration; - inhalation of which in the form of a finely dispersed powder, such as in the event of dusting, should definitely be avoided; or - must on no account be allowed to come into contact with the skin. The combination may consist of: - a fresh-air hood; - a full-face respirator with either air supply or filter of the right class (powders) or type (vapours); - a fresh-air helmet (for some solids only).

Indication: This phrase should be used for gases or liquids. Applies if the RIR > 4000 and any skin contact shouldbe avoided; or inhalation of powder from the substance is not allowable, andany skin contact should be avoided.

580003 P1 face shield 19205000

Explanation: To be used for liquid or non-dusting solid substances that are dangerous to both eyes and skin. The type of eye protection to be used depends on both the substance to which one is exposed and on the work situation. More than one means of protection is sometimes mentioned. Contact lenses in general give no protection to the eyes in industrial situations. The recommendations on eye protection are the same whether or not contact lenses are worn. Contact lenses can cause extra risks; it is better to not use them at all but to wear safety spectacles with correcting lenses instead. N.B.: A face shield affords inadequate protection in situations where liquid droplets can splash up from below, for instance, when an object drops into a drum filled with the liquid.

Indication: Applies if the substance is corrosive to skin (see 720100 or its alternatives), or if an acute absorption hazard (540026), or if 400002 (liquefied gas) was used. This phrase can be combined with 'safety spectacles' or 'safety goggles' by starting it with 'or';

without 'or' it can also be applied either alone or in combination with 'eye protection'.

580003 P1 safety goggles ^19203000

Explanation: To be used for liquid and solid substances including fine powders that may endanger the eyes, but present little danger to the (facial) skin upon occasional contact. The type of eye protection to be used depends on both the substance to which one is exposed and on the work situation. More than one means of protection is sometimes mentioned. Contact lenses in general give no protection to the eyes in industrial situations. The recommendations on eye protection are the same whether or not contact lenses are worn. Contact lenses can cause extra risks; it is better to not use them at all but to wear safety spectacles with correcting lenses instead.

Indication: Applies if the substance is corrosive to the eyes but not to the skin (see 720100 and its alternatives), or if the substance occurs as a powder and is a nuisance to the eyes. This phrase can be combined with 'face shield' or 'eye protection'.

580003 P1 safety spectacles 19201000

Explanation: To be used for protection against liquid and/or solid substances that present little danger to eyes and skin upon occasional contact (apart from mechanical danger). The type with side shields is preferable. Attention should be given to the resistance of the materials of the spectacles to the substances which are to be handled. This applies also to other means of eye protection. The type of eye protection to be used depends on both the substance to which one is exposed and on the work situation.
