    The document discusses safety standards for eye protection set by the Z87 Committee. It provides a response to a question about whether testing is required for each location of a multi-location prescription lens optical laboratory. The Committee response is that it is up to the manufacturer to determine if separate testing is required based on any substantive changes between locations that could affect safety test results. Manufacturers must ensure testing occurs after any changes that could impact a device's ability to pass required qualification tests.

    SAFETY STANDARDS FOR EYE PROTECTION

    Z87 COMMITTEE

    International Safety Equipment Association (Z87 Secretariat) 1901 N. Moore Street, Suite 808 Arlington, VA 22209 703-525-1695 - Phone 703/528-2148 - Fax isea@safetyequipment.org April 4, 2011 Mr. Daniel Torgersen OLA Representative to ANSI Z87 Committee Via Email: DTorgersen@walman.com Dear Mr. Torgersen: This correspondence is in response to your request for interpretation (dated February 14, 2011) on Section 6.2.5, Prescription Lens Material Qualification of ANSI/ISEA Z87.1-2010. The Committee offers the following official responses to the question you have posed, as noted below: Question: Does 6.2.5 require each location of a multi-location prescription lens optical laboratory to conduct the test required? Committee Response: It is the manufacturers responsibility to determine if separate testing is required for each laboratory maintained by the same manufacturer. As specified, type testing shall be performed when any substantive change in production occurs that could affect the ability of the device to pass the qualification tests. It is the manufacturers responsibility to determine what constitutes a substantive change, be it a change or difference in manufacturing process, materials, location, relevant personnel or equipment, or any combination thereof. Please do not hesitate to contact me if you have further questions. Sincerely,

    Cristine Z. Fargo Z87 Secretariat Staff Cc: Z87 Committee
