Eye and face protection - Part 4: Protection against biological hazards (ISO/FDIS 16321-4:2025)
This document specifies minimum requirements for light-weight protectors designed to provide protection for the eyes or eyes and face from biological hazards, such as pathogenic micro-organisms in human or other animal bodily fluids that can deposit onto the face or eyes.
NOTE 1 Typical scenarios for use include healthcare, retail and transport settings.
This document specifies requirements for both single-use (disposable) and re-usable (disinfectable) products or components.
This document applies to all afocal (plano) and prescription lensed protectors and their components.
This document does not cover the respiratory equipment required for protection against aerosols, which can be used in conjunction with these eye protectors, and for which other standards apply.
This document does not apply to
— protectors intended for protection from specific hazards, e.g. mechanical hazards, harmful artificial optical radiation, dusts, molten metals, heat, flame, hot solids, harmful gases, vapours (refer to ISO 16321-1 to ISO 16321-3),
— protectors specifically for sports (refer to the ISO 18527 series),
— protectors for lasers (refer to ISO 19818-1), and
— respiratory protection against aerosols (refer to ISO/TS 16975-4).
NOTE 2 Guidance related to the specific selection, use and maintenance is provided in Annex A.
NOTE 3 Where eye and face protection is incorporated in protective equipment, such as a hood, full face respirators, powered air purifying respirators (PAPR) hoods and headtops, the relevant requirements of this document apply to the components providing eye and face protection.
Augen- und Gesichtsschutz für betriebliche Anwendungen - Teil 4: Zusätzliche Anforderungen zum Schutz vor biologischen Gefahren (ISO/FDIS 16321‑4:2025)
Dieses Dokument legt die Mindestanforderungen an Schutzgeräte fest, die zum Schutz der Augen oder der Augen und des Gesichts vor biologischen Gefährdungen, wie z.B. menschlichen oder tierischen Körperflüssig
keiten und Mikroorganismen, bestimmt sind.
Dieses Dokument legt die Anforderungen für Produkte oder Komponenten fest, die sowohl zum einmaligen Gebrauch (Einweg) als auch zur Wiederverwendung (desinfizierbar) bestimmt sind.
Dieses Dokument gilt für alle afokalen (Plan-Sichtscheiben) und Schutzgeräte in Form von Korrektionssicht
scheiben und deren Komponenten.
Dieses Dokument gilt nicht für:
- Schutzgeräte zum Schutz vor bestimmten Gefährdungen, z.B. Stöße von Teilchen mit hoher Geschwindig
keit, schädliche künstliche optische Strahlung, Staub, geschmolzene Metalle, Hitze, Flammen, heiße
körper, schädliche Gase, Dämpfe (siehe ISO16321, Teil1 bis3);
- Schutzgeräte, die speziell für sportliche Aktivitäten vorgesehen sind (siehe Normreihe ISO18527);
- Schutzgeräte für den Umgang mit Lasern (siehe ISO19818-1);
- Atemschutz gegen Aerosole (siehe Normreihe ISO16900).
ANMERKUNG1 Eine Anleitung zur richtigen Auswahl, Verwendung und Pflege ist in AnhangA enthalten.
ANMERKUNG2 Wenn Augen- und Gesichtsschutz in Schutzausrüstungen wie Kapuze, Atemschutzgeräte, die das ganze Gesicht bedecken, Gebläseatemschutz-Geräte (en: powered air-purifying respirator, PAPR) und Kopfbedeckungen inte
griert sind, gelten die entsprechenden Anforderungen dieser Norm für die Komponenten, die Augen und Gesicht schützen.
Protection des yeux et du visage à usage professionnel - Partie 4: Exigences complémentaires pour la protection contre les risques biologiques (ISO/FDIS 16321-4:2025)
Le présent document spécifie les exigences minimales applicables aux protecteurs légers conçus pour protéger les yeux ou les yeux et le visage contre les risques biologiques, tels que les micro-organismes pathogènes présents dans les fluides corporels humains ou d'autres animaux et qui peuvent se déposer sur le visage ou les yeux.
NOTE 1 Les scénarios types d'utilisation comprennent les soins de santé, le commerce de détail et les transports.
Le présent document spécifie les exigences relatives aux produits ou composants à usage unique (jetables) et réutilisables (désinfectables).
Le présent document s'applique à tous les protecteurs équipés de verres afocaux (non correcteurs) et de verres correcteurs, ainsi qu'à leurs composants.
Le présent document ne couvre pas l'équipement respiratoire requis pour la protection contre les aérosols, qui peut être utilisé conjointement avec ces protecteurs de l'œil, et pour lequel d'autres normes s'appliquent.
Le présent document ne s'applique pas:
— aux protecteurs destinés à protéger contre des risques spécifiques, par exemple les risques mécaniques, les rayonnements optiques artificiels nocifs, les poussières, les métaux fondus, la chaleur, les flammes, les solides chauds, les gaz nocifs, les vapeurs (voir ISO 16321-1 à ISO 16321-3);
— aux protecteurs spécialement destinés à un usage sportif (voir la série ISO 18527);
— aux protecteurs contre le rayonnement laser (voir ISO 19818-1); et
— à la protection respiratoire contre les aérosols (voir ISO/TS 16975-4).
NOTE 2 Des recommandations relatives au choix, à l'utilisation et à l'entretien spécifiques sont fournies à l'Annexe A.
NOTE 3 Lorsque la protection des yeux et du visage est intégrée à un équipement de protection, tel qu'une capuche, un masque complet, les capuches et interfaces respiratoires d'appareil de protection respiratoire d’épuration d’air propulsé (PAPR), les exigences pertinentes du présent document s'appliquent aux composants qui offrent une protection des yeux et du visage.
