The real problem is not that there is no labeling on the eye wear parts, its
that the labeling is not specific enough.  What people need is a simple
statement that a particular item is good for high impact work, chemical splash, IR,
UV, etc.  Face sheilds, in particular, should have right on them that they are
not eye rated for impact eye protection since this is a common mistake that
people make.

For a very short while, there were a couple of companies that were doing
this.  The qualifications of the wear would be on the side sheilds of impact wear
for example.  But that didn't last and now all I see is the cryptic Z87.1.

It's time to make it simple for both the user and the inspector, like me, who
has to track down the information before I know if they are using the right
stuff or not.
