Pat,

As of today, the CFR requires eyewear to be certified to ANSI Z87.1 versions 1989, 2003 or 2010. See link.

https://www.osha.gov/laws-regs/regulations/standardnumber/1910/1910.133

According to the Honeywell website, the goggles that don't say D3 are certified to ANSI Z87.1-2003. The one that is marked D3 is certified to ANSI Z87.1- 2015.

The 2003 version of the standard doesn't include the "D" markings. Those are introduced in the 2010 version. In the 2003 version, the markings appear at the end of each eyewear type section rather than being tabulated as in the 2010 version. So, it's not as easy to notice that the D markings weren't there prior to 2010.

Thank you,

Yaritza Brinker

Thank you, Yaritza. I should have looked there! Honeywell does rate them for chemical splash protection in their product catalog that is on the resources page.

But I still have the same question - why would one pair that Honeywell rates for chemical splash not have D3 indicated on it (I have the pair on my desk) while the other pair does have D3 on it (also on my desk)? Is one pair simply not allowed to be sold overseas for some reason?

I have reached out to Honeywell but no reply yet.

I think you are running into a "deficient" webpage. The one that doesn't mention D3, does have a link to their Compliance Cert for ANSI Z87.1 in the Resources tab.

Hi all,

I'm looking for clarity regarding chemical splash goggles (indirect vent) that are rated for ANSI Z87.1+ 2015 that do not have a D3 rating, such as these:

https://safety.honeywell.com/en-us/products/by-category/head-eye-face-protection/safety-goggles/uvex-classic

Compared to goggles that do have the D3 rating, such as these:

https://safety.honeywell.com/en-us/products/by-category/head-eye-face-protection/safety-goggles/uvex-flex-seal

Is the D3 rating needed only on goggles that are sold overseas (i.e., not in the U.S.)?

If such indirect vented goggles do not have the D3 rating are they not considered chemical splash resistant in the U.S.? Can these not be worn/used as chemical splash resistant goggles?

I do have copies of ANSI Z87.1 (2020, 2015, 2010, 2003, 1989).. I'm just seeking some clarity.

Thank you!

Pat
