EN 15154-3:2009 (E) 4 Introduction The first seconds after an accident in which the body or parts of the body have been exposed to harmful substances or heat are critical to keep the injury to a minimum. Non plumbed-in emergency safety body showers are designed and intended to be kept in the immediate proximity of persons working in a potentially hazardous area. The main purpose of these devices is to supply immediate first aid. Non plumbed-in emergency safety body showers can also allow continued washing on the way to medical care. SIST EN 15154-3:2009

Requirements are also given concerning labelling, marking and information to be supplied by the manufacturer. Throughout this standard, the term “non plumbed-in emergency safety body shower” is referred to as “body shower”. 2 Normative references The following referenced documents are indispensable for the application of this document.
