1.  Verification Upon Installation

Proper operation of the equipment must be verified by the contractor installing the emergency eyewash or shower equipment prior to project closeout and facility occupation. Verification procedures must be in accordance with ANSI Z358.1-2014. Tags to allow monthly testing records to be kept must be affixed to the showers and eyewash fountains.

  • ANSI Z358.1-2014
  • Good Practice per Stanford University

By testing the equipment, Stanford can be assured that it is working properly before the users begin their research.

2.  Monthly Testing

Plumbed eyewash and shower equipment shall be activated at least monthly to flush the line and to verify proper operation. Self-contained units shall be maintained in accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions.
