## Article Content

[Visors](/en/detay/protective-goggles-25cc4/llms.txt) are protective equipment that cover all or part of the face, usually made from transparent polycarbonate or acetate materials. Some visor models are designed to be integrated with [helmets](/en/detay/baret-fdccd/llms.txt) or headgear systems. The main features of visors include:

- **Wide Field of Vision**: Some visors offer a field of view up to 180 degrees, providing the user with a broad perspective.
- **Adjustability**: Height and width adjustments allow compatibility with different head shapes.
- **Material Durability**: Polycarbonate visors offer high resistance to impacts and provide protection against electric arcs.
- **Comfort Features**: Features such as forehead support and anti-fog coatings provide comfort during prolonged use.

### **Standards and Legislation**

Visors must be manufactured in compliance with certain international and national standards:

- **EN 166**: Basic technical performance standard for personal eye protection.
- **EN 167**: Specifies methods for optical testing.
- **EN 168**: Covers methods for non-optical testing.
- **EN 169 - EN 172**: Define specific protection requirements such as welding filters, ultraviolet and infrared filters.

In Türkiye, the *Personal Protective Equipment Handbook* published by the Ministry of Labour and Social Security provides guidance on the use of visors.
