Frame Markings

The frame will usually be marked on the inside of one or both arms. All safety frames pass the European EN166 standard. Following EN166 will be numbers and/or letters which indicate to what degree the frames passed the EN166 test within various categories.

A frame can have a combination of these markings.
If the F symbol is not the same for the lens and the frame, then the lowest level should be assigned to the complete eye protection.

Cleaning and disinfection

The product must be cleaned or disinfected with a product like soapy water, optical cleaning solution, or a solution very low in alcohol.

Maintenance

Like all other protective products, the life depends on the type of use, care and maintenance. If your frame is damaged, replace the entire article. We recommend that spectacles and goggles are kept in a suitable case when not in use. In every case, the product must be replaced after a period of two years.

Warning: Pitted scratched or damaged lenses must be replaced by original products. Under special circumstances, some people with extremely sensitive skin may suffer from allergies caused by some materials coming into contact with the skin. A protector worn over prescription spectacles can pass on the impact with a potential risk.

Replacement lenses

• Make sure that the spare lenses are identical to the lenses of origin.

Transport

• The protector must be transported in its packing of origin.

Storage

• Store between 5° to 40° C; humidity less than 90%.
