INTRODUCING HOYA SAFETY EYEWEAR DIVISION
On the 17th April 2007 a new standard became effective covering prescription eyewear for medium impact requirements. HOYA Lens Australia has now invested in the establishment of a purpose built safety eyewear deparment. Capital investment for a laser etching machine, a ballistics machine and step bevel edging equipment ensures that HOYA is able to provide safety eyewear product that is compliant with the specifications stated in AS/NZS 1337.6

SAI GLOBAL ACCREDITATIONSAI Global also conduct a bi-annual audit to ensure that all manufacturing processes are compliant to AS/NZS ISO 9001 requirements and inspects all records and batch testing samples conducted and retained by Hoya Lens Australia. Despite being an accredited laboratory, it remains the responsibility of Hoya Lens Australia to ensure ongoing compliance to the standard and the manufacturing requirements of all safety eyewear products.
To ensure the highest quality products Hoya Lens Australia has sought and gained accreditation with SAI Global (licence number SMKH20522). The accreditation process requires that HOYA manufacture a specified number of each frame type to specified prescription parameters. These units are then independently tested by a NATA accredited laboratory, for low impact, medium impact, penetration tests at both ambient and elevated temperatures, thickness criteria and prescription accuracy. The results are forwarded to SAI global, for independent assessment.
Hoya Lens Australia has been licensed to manufacture a complete range of safety appliances, frames manufactured by Cummings Optical including models 108, 109, 200, 202 and 207 are available with various options for size and colour. Hoya's Phoenix Lenses are used to provide a choice of Single Vision, Bifocal and Progressive Hoyalux Summit Pro or Hoyalux Summit CD all standard with UV385 Super Hard Coating, the lens also provide options for outdoor tints and TRANSITIONS MATERIAL.
