Why should you use BS EN 15154-6?
Multiple nozzle emergency safety body showers have multiple spray heads delivering water from head to feet. The purpose of BS EN 15154-6 is to provide product specifications for plumbed-in multiple nozzle emergency safety body showers for sites other than laboratories.
BS EN 15154-6 is intended to install devices in close range of persons working in a potentially hazardous area exposed to burning/burns and/or hazardous chemical substances getting splashed onto all or part of the body.
Therefore, the main purpose of these devices is to deliver immediately a flushing fluid in a volume sufficient to extinguish flames and/or to flush the body following exposure to injurious substances or heat. Once this is accomplished, the injured person can proceed to medical care.
