The selection of emergency eyewash and shower equipment is often a complicated process. In addition to addressing design and engineering issues, specifiers must be aware of regulatory requirements and compliance standards. A common reference point when specifying emergency equipment is ANSI/ISEA Z358.1,“Emergency Eyewash and Shower Equipment.”This standard is a widely accepted guideline for the proper selection, installation and maintenance of emergency equipment. To assist specifiers in understanding the provisions of this standard, Guardian Equipment has prepared this ANSI Compliance Checklist to serve as a starting point for designing emergency eyewash and shower systems:
