1.2. There are eye-catching signs around the eyewash and shower equipment. The logo should be clearly expressed in both Chinese and English bilingual and pictorial, and it is very vivid to tell the operator at the production site to identify the location and use of eyewash and shower equipment.

1.3. In the normal operation of eyewash and shower equipment, each part should meet the requirements of ANSI Z358-1-2004 standard, and each nozzle can be used separately. In regions where it is possible for the winter to freeze in the north, anti-freezing devices need to be added or antifreeze protection facilities must be installed next to the equipment.

When the components of the eyewash and shower equipment are installed, the following requirements should also be met:

a. In the case where the eye washer and shower device are properly connected to the water source and all the valve switches are closed, there should be no water leakage from the connected piping.

b. In the state that the operation switch of eyewash and shower equipment is fully open, all valves must be kept in a normally open state, except for human factors.

2, eye wash and shower equipment installation location requirements

2.1. The eyewash and shower equipment should be installed near the source of danger. It is best to quickly reach the area of ​​the eyewash and shower equipment within 10 seconds. At the same time, try to install on the same level. It is best to reach the straight line. To avoid further rescue.

2.2. Under special circumstances, eyewash and shower equipment should meet special requirements. For example, in some environments that may be exposed to strong acids or alkalis, or other toxic or hazardous substances that have strong corrosive properties or are easily absorbed by the skin, the eyewash and shower devices must be installed in the area closest to the source of the hazard.

2.3. In laboratories that may be exposed to toxic and hazardous chemicals mentioned above, eyewash and shower equipment are generally installed in the laboratory's internal channels. However, the working position is sometimes far from the eyewash and shower equipment, which may delay rescue time. In this case, it is recommended to install a hose for eyewash and shower equipment next to the pool in the laboratory. This device is more convenient and practical. When the eyes, face and other parts are accidentally splashed on dangerous chemicals, they can be flushed with this equipment as soon as possible, providing timely protection.
