Safety goggles should comply with recognized standards to ensure they offer adequate protection. In the United States, the American National Standards Institute (ANSI) sets specific guidelines for protective eyewear, which are denoted as ANSI Z87.1. This standard covers various aspects like impact resistance, chemical splash protection, and optical clarity. In Europe, the EN 166 standard is used, which provides similar guidelines for protective eyewear. Selecting goggles that meet these standards ensures a higher level of safety in toxicology environments.
