What is the ANSI rating for safety glasses?

The correct answer is indeed associated with the ANSI Z87.1 standard, which addresses the requirements for eye and face protection in occupational settings. Specifically, the ANSI Z87.1-2003 standard indicates that safety glasses must meet specific performance criteria for impact resistance and clarity, among other factors.

Safety glasses with this rating provide a level of assurance that they have been tested and meet the criteria for scratch resistance, lens coverage, and the ability to withstand impacts from flying debris or other hazards commonly found in work environments.

The other options reference different years of the ANSI Z87.1 standard, reflecting updates and revisions made over time. The 2005, 2010, and even the 2020 versions continue to improve upon and clarify the safety and protective measures required for eyewear, but in the context of your question, Z87.1-2003 is the rating directly highlighted in your response.
