Safety glasses are required to be tested to ANSI Z87.1-2003. This standard includes optical requirements as well as physical requirement. Here is a list of the tests that are required: Frame shall be capable of resisting impact from a pointed projectile weighing 500g (17.6 oz.) dropped from a height of 127 cm (50 in.). Spectacles shall be capable of resisting impact from a 6.35 mm (1/4 in) diameter steel ball traveling at a velocity of 45.7 mps (150 fps).
