ANSI Z87.1.

  1. ANSI B11
  2. ANSI A1
  3. ANSI Z87.1 ✔

Why: OSHA 1910.133 requires eye and face protection to meet ANSI/ISEA Z87.1. DeWalt's saw manual also lists ANSI Z87.1 eye protection as certified safety gear.

Huh, didn't know that: OSHA also requires side protection when there is a hazard from flying objects.
