Eye and Face Protection for Sports Use - Part 3: Requirements and Test Methods for Eyewear Intended to be Used for Surface Swimming
Also Known As:
A standard called ISO 18527-3:2020 outlines the specifications and testing procedures for eyewear intended for surface swimming. The standard includes topics like materials, construction, optical qualities, and performance testing and is applicable to both general swimming goggles and specialized competitive swimming goggles. The standard also specifies labeling and the data that manufacturers are required to supply.
According to the regulation, eyewear made for surface swimming should only be used for activities like shallow diving off a pool's edge and surface swimming. The statement that the eyewear is not appropriate for diving from a high board is clear.
Eyewear with non-prescription mass-produced corrective lenses, non-prescription ostensibly plano or afocal lenses, and prescription lenses are all covered by ISO 18527-3:2020.
