外文文献原稿和译文 原　　稿 Abstract An objective definition of the protective area of laser eye protectors is discussed.First an appropriate test , method is descried,which is based on the current eye protection standard EN 168. For a variety of already CE type approved laser eye protectors,i.c.for different goggle and spectacle types, results of corresponding measurements are shown. From these results the requirements on the vertical and horizontal angle ranges are derived,which have to be covered by laser eye protectors.This proposal will be implemented in the currently processed amendments of the laser safety standards EN 207 and EN 208. 2001 Elscvier Science Ltd .

Keywords: Protective area; Laser eye protectors ;EN 207; Eye protection standards; CE type approval Introduction The European laser eye protection standards EN 207[1] and EN 208[2] require that The frame shall be designed so that no laser radiation can penetrate from the side unintentionally.This requirement also implies that the frame should resist at last 10 s to the level of irradiance against which it is designed to protect. This specification for the area to be covered is open to different interpreted in a strict way, only goggle type eye protectors could be permitted. On the other hand, goggles have a very limited peripheral field of view and tend to fog. Except for wearers of corrective spectacles type eye protectors,therefore, usually are the better choice. People would more easily be prepared to wear them because they are more comfortable. In order to ensure uniform judgeement by the different test laboratories whether the standards mentioned are complied with, it is important to have an objective test method giving reliable results and to specify a minimum requirement for the coverage of the eye region by the lase eye protectors. The purpose of this paper is to describe such a test method and to propose a minimum requirement. Test method A test method determining the coverage of
