ISEA/ANSI Z358.1 - American National Standard for Emergency Eyewash and Shower Equipment
Foreword
This revision of the American National Standard for Emergency Eyewash and Shower Equipment updates ANSI Z358.1-1981.
Even though emergency eyewash and shower equipment has been in use in industry for over 60 years, the 1981 standard was the first voluntary standard in the United States dealing with the minimum performance requirements for this type of equipment. The 1981 standard and this revision were prepared by the Emergency Eyewash and Shower Group of the Industrial Safety Equipment Association, whose members are thoroughly knowledgeable in the design, installation, and use of this important safety equipment.
This standard was processed and approved for submittal to ANSI by the Canvass Method. The following organizations were contacted prior to the approval of this standard.
