Scope

This document specifies the minimum performance, installation and usage requirements for emergency safety body showers and eyewash units (devices), including instructions for installation, instructions for use, maintenance, testing and labelling (marking).

This document does not cover showers for personal cleaning, decontamination of personal protective equipment and clothing, or personal hygiene.

Purpose

The purpose of this proposal is to provide the industry with an international standard on safety body showers and eyewash units.

These devices are designed and intended to be installed in close range of persons working in a potentially hazardous area exposed to the risks of burning/burns and/or hazardous chemical substances getting splashed onto all or part of the body, despite other risk mitigation measures. These devices are primarily emergency facilities.
