4 39 STANDARDS AND CERTI FICATIONS Eyes and face protection devices PPE category 2 and 3 must be certified by a notified body recognised at European level. Product certification that demonstrates compliance with the requirements outlined in Directive 89/686/EEC can be based on an assessment of the PPE's performance pursuant to the standards listed below: EN 166:2001 - The standard specifies the functional requirements that various personal eye protection devices must have and recalls some other standards detailing the requirements that the PPE must meet on its type, field of use and identified performance.
