Application and limitations

Please ensure that this eyewear always fits well. 
The main purpose of this safety eyewear is to 
provide the wearer with limited impact resistance.
The eyewear may not be suitable for certain 
environments, such as those with low light 
surroundings or liquid splash hazards. These 
spectacles are intended for the following:

A)   use in factories, on construction sites, in mining  

operations, and on other worksites where 
basic eye protection (i.e., particle impact speed 
under 45 m/s) is required.

B)  preventing impact hazards associated with 

chipping, grinding, machining, masonry work, 
riveting, and sanding.

 

Model

  

The name of the model is always indicated on the 
barcode of the packaging. 

Storage

Store in a dry place at room temperature and 
protect from direct sunlight. The eyewear must be 
transported and stored in the original package, at a 
temperature between 5°C and 40°C (41°F and 104°F) 
and a relative humidity of <90%.

Maintenance

The lenses must be cleaned or disinfected regularly. 
This must be done using a mild detergent, optical 
cleaning solution, or a solution very low in alcohol 
at room temperature (20°C/68°F ± 5°C/ 41°F). The 
eyewear should provide adequate protection for a 
period exceeding six (6) months and up to two (2) 
years. Regularly check the status. Scratched or 
damaged lenses must be replaced or disposed 
of immediately. The markings found on the lens and 
on the frames represent the ratings of the prod-
uct. Scandia Gear is not be liable for damages aris-
ing from misuse, and improper maintenance and 
preservation of this PPE.

If the symbol F, B or A is not found on both the lenses 
and the frame, then the lower value is assigned to the 
complete set of safety glasses. The letter T imme-
diately after the impact letter allows a use for high 
speed particles at extremes of temperature. In the 
absence of the letter T the protector must be used in 
room temperature.
