z87.1 BASE old standard.
high velocity test is .25 inch steel ball at 150 fps.
Quote:
z87.1 2010
the classification was reorganized into sub categories in a 2010 revision of the safety standard.
Eye Protection Marking
ANSI Z87.1-2010 requires markings on eye protection that directly relate to the ability of the eye protection device to defend against specific hazards. If the eye protection is Z87.1 compliant, it will be marked with "Z87."
Additional marking are divided into three categories:
Impact vs. Non-Impact
Splash and Dust Protection
Optical Radiation Protection
Impact vs. Non-Impact
ANSI Z87.1–2010 classifies eye protection as either impact or non-impact rated. Impact rated eye protection must meet specified high mass and high velocity tests, and provide continuous lateral coverage. Impact rated eye protection will have a plus symbol (+).
Z87+ impacted rated flat lenses
Z87-2+ impact rated prescription lens
Z87 non-impact rated flat lenses
Z87-2 non-impacted rated prescription lens

so according to the 2010 revision of the standard, basic 87.1 is no longer rated for impact safety. You MUST purchase z87.1+ glasses.
