The marking of the prescribed safety glasses should be in accordance with DIN EN 166. The marking refers to the frame and lens's factory symbol and production date (MM/YYY). 

If the markings on the frame and the lens are different, it means that lower mechanical strength is applied to the eye protection device. 

These markings ensure that the glasses have been tested and meet the required guidelines for safety standards.
