AS/NZS 1067.1:2016 PDF
Specifies 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 protectionâSunglasses 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 protectionâSunglasses and fashion spectacles, Part 2: Test methods, which is an identical adoption of ISO 12311:2013, Personal protective equipmentâTest 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.
