1.1 This specification covers the minimal requirements for alpine skier goggles and faceshields, to provide a reasonable degree of protection against foreign objects striking or lodging in the eye or surrounding soft tissue causing eye irritation or damage; and to minimize fogging and vision restrictions that distract or handicap the skier and thereby may cause accidents.

1.2 The scope of this specification shall include requirements for materials, lens size, optical properties, lens strength, field of vision, labeling, identification, and testing procedures for goggles and faceshields for alpine skiers.

1.2.1 Contact lenses, sunglasses, and corrective dress eye wear are not included within the scope of this specification.

The following safety hazards caveat pertains only to the test method portions, Sections and and of this specification: This standard does not purport to address all of the safety concerns, if any, associated with its use. It is the responsibility of the user of this standard to establish appropriate safety and health practices and determine the applicability of regulatory limitations prior to use.


This specification covers the material, design, optical, and strength requirements, and associated test procedures for goggles and faceshields used by alpine skiers, to provide a reasonable degree of protection against foreign objects that strike or lodge the eye or surrounding soft tissue causing eye irritation or damage, as well as to minimize fogging and vision restrictions that distract or handicap the skier, thereby causing accidents. Contact lenses, sunglasses, and corrective dress eye wear are not included within the scope of this specification. When tested by the methods provided herein, these eye protective devices shall adhere to specified optical requirements in terms of field of view (temporal, nasal, superior, and inferior fields), luminous transmittance, refractive tolerances, astigmatism, refractive power imbalance, prismatic deviation and imbalance (vertical and horizontal imbalances), optical defects, and physical lens defects. The protective eyewear shall also meet light-transmitting ability requirements such as clearness, ultraviolet and infrared filtration, and resistance to fogging. Furthermore, lens strength shall be examined as well by means of basic impact resistance and higher impact resistance tests.
