3 Terms and definitions
For the purposes of this document, the terms and definitions given in EN ISO 7998 and in EN ISO 13666 and
the following apply.
ready-to-wear spectacles
spectacles intended for near vision and reading use only having or incorporating a pair of single vision lenses of equal positive spherical power in which the glazing has not been carried out in direct response to a written prescription by a qualified practitioner
NOTE The term ready-to-wear spectades as understood by this European Standard is restricted to spectacles having or incorporating single vision lenses. The rationale tar this restriction is that spectade lenses other than single vision lenses (e.g. bifocal, multifocal. progressive-power lenses) are not recommended for use in ready-to-wear spectacles due to the need of a qualified practitioner’s prescription and dispensing for such lenses.
4 Performance requirements
4.1 General
The tolerances shall apply at a temperature of 23 °C ± 5 °C.
4.2 General requirements
The spectacle lenses of ready-to-wear spectacles shall fulfil the general requirements of EN ISO 14889.
The frame of ready-to-wear spectacles shall fulfil the requuements of EN ISO 12870.
The glazing of spectacle lenses shall be verified by the lens retention test as specified in EN ISO 12870.
The spectacle lenses shall be securely held in position so that movement or rotation in the frame cannot occur
under any condition of intended use.
4.3 OptIcal power range
The lenses for ready-to-wear spectacles shall have equal nominal spherical power within the range from +1,00 to +3,50 dioptres.
4.4 Optical power tolerances
Tolerances to be applied to the values declared by the manufacturer shall comply with EN ISO 8980-1.
4.5 Reference points and prismatic power tolerances
4.5.1 Design reference points
Horizontal: The design reference points are specified by the manufacturer and are spaced symmetrically with respect to the vertical symmetry axis of the frame according to EN ISO 8624.
— Vertical: The design reference points may be specified by the manufacturer and shall be at the same height for each lens.
4.5.2 Prismatic power tolerances
The deviation of prismatic power (horizontal: per lens; vertical: difference between lenses) measured at the design reference points specified by the manufacturer, shall not exceed the values given in Table 1.
5 Marking on the spectacles, indications on packaging, instruction for use
5.1 Marking
Spectacles shall be permanently marked with the following minimum inforrnatioc:
a) name or trade mark of manufacturer or distributor
b) manufacturer’s declared spherical power, In dioptres.
NOTE Additional marking of ready-to-wear spectacles according to EN ISO 12870 is optional.
5.2 Indications on packaging and warnings
Manufacturer’s declared centration distance, in mm. shall be marked on the frame or on the hang tag or applied sticker.
The name and address of the manufacturer shall be marked on the frame or be given on the hang tag or applied sticker or packaging or information provided with the device. For devices imported into the Community. the name and address of the authorized representative in the Community shall be marked on the frame or be given on the hang tag or applied sticker or packaging or information provided with the device.
If the manufacturer or supplier claims compliance with this European Standard, its number and year shall be included either on the packaging or in the available literature.BS EN 14139-2010 pdf download.
