Choosing the Right Eye and Face Protection
NOTE: It is possible to have surface treatments which are not marked on the lens. These are non-certified treatments, which give the same protection to the lens for an extended period of use:
=
AS = Anti-scratch treatment (corresponds to K)
=
AF = Anti-fog treatment (corresponds to N)
Lens / Shade Applications
If the lens is also tested according to EN 170 (UV FILTERS) or EN 172 (SUN FILTERS FOR INDUSTRIAL USE) it is also marked with a code-scale nr. Example: clear lens (EN 170) are normally marked with 2C-1.2; Smoke lens (EN 172) are mostly marked with code-scale nr 5-3.1. These nr indicate the % of visible light which can pass through the lens, so how clear/smoke is the lens.
