What do You Know about the Eye Wash Standard?
SYSBEL 2021-07-27
On June 17th, Hangzhou Emergency Punishment [2021] No. 2000016 public announcement: On March 11, 2021, Hangzhou XX Packaging Technology Co., Ltd. was inspected by the Hangzhou Emergency Management Bureau in accordance with the law and found that the unit was in the production process. Oil-based ink, ethyl acetate, isopropanol and n-propyl ester and other flammable and explosive hazardous chemicals are used in the medium. The investigation found that the unit’s emergency shower eyewash had been damaged (it could not be used normally) and other issues, in violation of the "Safety Production Law of the People's Republic of China" and the "Regulations on the Safety Management of Hazardous Chemicals", and made an administrative penalty decision of 75,000 yuan.
The First Anniversary of the Implementation of China's National Standard for Eyewash Station
On July 1, 2020, China’s first national standard for eyewash devices GB/T 38144.1-2019 "Eye and face protection emergency spray and eyewash equipment Part 1: Technical requirements" and GB/T 38144.2-2019 "Eye and face protection emergency spray And Eyewash Equipment Part 2: Guidelines for Use was officially promulgated. The national standard has been implemented for one year, do you know all about it? We focus on several key technical requirements in the standard:

① Structure of emergency sprinkler: The main components include control valve, sprinkler head and valve drive device.
The structure of the eyewash device: The main components include the flushing fluid delivery pipeline, the nozzle, the control valve, and the valve drive device.
② Corresponding time
Once the valve is opened, it should always remain open. After the eyewash is started, the flushing fluid should be sprayed out automatically within 1 second.

③ Water flow and time
The flushing fluid should be provided at a flow rate of at least 76L/min (1.5L/min for the eyewash) and maintain continuous flushing for at least 15 minutes.
④ The water outlet height
The flushing fluid should be contained in the area line between the inside and outside of the standard ruler located less than 200mm above the eyewash nozzle.
⑤ Arrangement of the eyewash area
Emergency spraying and eyewashing equipment should be installed in an area that can be reached within 10 seconds from the operator, on the same plane as the area where danger may occur, and far away from obstacles.
⑥ Rinsing fluid temperature
The suitable temperature range is 16°C-38°C. Long-term exposure to liquids below 16°C will affect the body temperature required by the human body and cause premature interruption of first aid treatment. In cold areas in the north, it is recommended to choose an Cable Heating Emergency Shower.

⑦ Maintenance of eyewash
Start the eyewash unit at least once a week, perform inspection, maintenance, and record, replenish the flushing fluid, clean and remove the sediment of the flushing fluid clock, and reduce the bacterial contamination of the equipment due to long-term water storage.
