Understanding ANSI Z87.1 and Z87+

The American National Standards Institute (ANSI) Z87.1 standard specifies the fundamental requirements for personal eye and face protective devices. These requirements are aimed at minimizing or preventing injuries from various hazards such as impacts, non-ionizing radiation, and chemical agents in various environments including occupational, educational, and military settings.

The ANSI Z87.1 standard covers a range of criteria including:

• Description and general requirements: Specifications for the design and construction of protective devices.
• Testing and marking: Procedures and benchmarks for assessing the protective capabilities and ensuring proper labeling.
• Selection, care, and use: Guidelines for choosing appropriate protective devices, maintaining them, and using them effectively.

The Z87+ designation within this standard denotes an additional level of protection, which includes more rigorous impact testing:

• Penetration Test: Ensures the lenses can withstand penetration by a 1.56 oz (44.2 gm) object dropped from 50 inches (127 cm).
• High Mass Impact: Tests the resistance of the eyewear against a 17.6 oz (500 gm) object dropped from 50 inches (127 cm).
• High Velocity Impact: Assesses the eyewear's ability to endure the impact of a small object traveling at 150 feet per second (46 meters per second).

By meeting the ANSI Z87.1+ standards, the Rudy Project Stealth tactical sunglasses ensure enhanced durability and protection, making them suitable for challenging environments where superior eye protection is essential.
