Safety Standards — Why EN207 Matters
The EN207 standard is the European benchmark specifically developed for laser protective eyewear. It evaluates both the optical density and the physical durability of the lens under direct laser exposure.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What laser wavelengths do these CE EN207 laser safety glasses protect against?
A: These glasses are rated for the 400–490nm wavelength range at OD5+, making them specifically suited for blue-violet lasers such as the 488nm argon-ion laser commonly used in laboratories and research facilities.
Q: What does OD5+ optical density mean for laser eyewear?
A: Optical Density (OD) indicates the attenuation factor of the lens. OD5+ means the lenses reduce laser beam intensity by a factor of 100,000 (99.999%) at the specified wavelengths, providing a high level of protection for professional laser work environments.
Q: Are these laser safety glasses certified to any international standard?
A: Yes. These glasses carry the CE EN207 certification, which is the European standard for laser protective eyewear. EN207 testing verifies both optical density performance and the physical integrity of the lens material under laser exposure conditions.
Q: Can I wear these glasses over prescription eyewear?
A: The wraparound frame and dimensions (18 × 15 × 3 cm) are designed to accommodate most users comfortably. If you require over-prescription fit, please contact us — customization options are available for the Series 59.
Q: Are the lenses impact-resistant?
A: Yes. The polycarbonate (PC) lens material is inherently impact-resistant, providing an additional layer of durability in busy laboratory or workshop environments.
