Abstract

The requirements are considered for a reassessment of the Australian Standards relating to eye protection for vehicle users, particularly for motorcycle users. The interlocking requirements of the Australian Standards for vehicle users' helmets and for automotive eye protection are illustrated. Light transmittance requirements for windscreen, visors, and goggles are reviewed and the case for tinted eye protection for daytime use considered. The contribution of surface scratching to glare is assessed. Impact test procedures for a series of related Standards are reviewed. The possible contribution of eye protection to crash injur) is considered. and some of the available data sources from in-depth accident studies are summarised.
