ISO 12870

The ISO 12870 standard sets out the specifications and testing requirements for spectacle frames, ensuring that they meet the necessary safety, durability, and performance criteria. Developed by the International Organization for Standardization (ISO), this standard is crucial for manufacturers in the eyewear industry, as it provides a framework for ensuring that spectacle frames are both reliable and safe for consumer use.

ISO 12870 defines the mechanical and physical properties that spectacle frames must possess, including resistance to deformation, corrosion, and wear. The standard also covers testing procedures to evaluate the strength of hinges, bridge, and sides of the frame to ensure they can withstand everyday use without breaking or becoming deformed. Additionally, the standard addresses factors such as material compatibility and the ability of frames to maintain their shape under various environmental conditions.
