American National Standards Institute Z87 Committee

The American National Standards Institute (ANSI) Z87 Committee is a group of experts that develop and oversee safety standards for eye and face protection, such as safety glasses and goggles. Their goal is to ensure that protective equipment effectively guards users against hazards like impact, chemicals, or radiation. The committee sets guidelines for the design, testing, and performance of these products, helping manufacturers produce reliable safety gear and ensuring consumers have access to equipment that meets consistent safety criteria. Overall, the Z87 Committee promotes workplace and personal safety through standardized safety eyewear.
