BS EN ISO 18527-2:2021 PDF Download

Squash, racquetball, and squash eye protection regulations are laid out in the standard BS EN ISO 18527-2:2021. It belongs to the ISO 18527 series, which focuses on face and eye protection for use in sports. All eye protection meant to shield the eyes while engaging in these sports—as well as those with comparable dangers and no higher risks—is subject to this standard.

Prescription eye protection is covered by BS EN ISO 18527-2, although there are no tests specifically for eye protection meant to be worn over eyeglasses. The standard specifies the specifications and tests for the materials, the performance, the marking of eye protection, and the data that the producer must provide.

This standard does not cover sports eye protection intended to be worn over prescription eyeglasses, eye protection for other occupational uses, eye protection without lenses, eye protection for sports with risks unrelated to squash, racquetball, and squash 57, or eye protection with gradient-tinted lenses.

This standard is beneficial to sports officials, sporting commissions or federations, manufacturers and suppliers of sporting goods, and quality assurance staff. Manufacturers can create eye protectors that are appropriate for the sporting environment, offer sufficient visibility, and guarantee the safety of those who wear them by adhering to the standards of BS EN ISO 18527-2. By laying out the mechanical strength standards, the standard also aids in the development of eye protection that is more robust. Additionally, it offers guidelines for the product information that should be given to customers, assisting in their comprehension of the needs for proper usage and maintenance.
