Draft Designation: DR AS/NZS 1067.1:2015Amended by: AS 1067.1:2016 Amd 1:2021 Eye and face protection - Sunglasses and fashion spectacles, Part 1: Requirements
The objective of this Standard is to specify minimum requirements for sunglasses, fashion spectacles and replacement filters that are nominally afocal (plano power)—excluding prescription filters—
providing protection against solar radiation for general use including road use and driving.
This revision aligns its requirements closely to those of ISO 12312-1:2013, Eye and face protection and—Sunglasses and related eyewear, Part 1: Sunglasses for general use. Test methods referred to in this Standard are now located in AS/NZS 1067.2, Eye and face protection—Sunglasses and fashion spectacles, Part 2: Test methods, which is an identical adoption of ISO 12311:2013, Personal protective equipment—Test methods for sunglasses and related eyewear.
This Standard specifies some requirements different from ISO 12312-1 in order to avoid lowering the standards set by its previous editions [including AS 1067, Parts 1 and 2 (1990)] and thereby reducing the level of protection provided. This recognizes the special circumstances of this region, especially the severity of its climatic conditions.
The terms ‘normative’ and ‘informative’ have been used in this Standard to define the application of the appendices to which they apply. A ‘normative’ appendix is an integral part of a Standard, whereas an ‘informative’ appendix is only for information and guidance.
Originated in Australia as part of AS 1067-1971. Previous and first New Zealand edition part of AS/NZS 1067:2003. Revised in part and redesignated as AS/NZS 1067.1:2016. Reissued and redesignated incorporating Amendment No 1 (September 2021) as AS 1067.1:2016.
