A non-profit organization called the American National Standards Institute (ANSI) develops standards for a wide range of consumer and industrial products. Although the standards might apply to any aspect of a product, many of them have to do with safety. The standards for Occupational and Educational Personal Eye and Face Protection Devices are mentioned in the Z87.1 section of the ANSI standards. These requirements aid in ensuring that personal eye and face shields offer the required defense against impact, non-ionizing radiation, and liquid splash exposures.
