一．洗眼器的定義

80年代，洗眼器已經(jīng)在工業(yè)發(fā)達(dá)國(guó)家流行起來，很多化工廠、實(shí)驗(yàn)室、醫(yī)院等領(lǐng)域廣泛采用洗眼器作為應(yīng)急安全防護(hù)設(shè)備。主要是用于作業(yè)人員不慎被有毒有害物質(zhì)噴濺于眼睛、面部、身體、衣服等，采取緊急沖洗噴淋，稀釋有害物質(zhì)，將危害降到很低。

不過，洗眼器產(chǎn)品只是用于緊急情況下，暫時(shí)減緩有害物對(duì)身體的進(jìn)一步侵害，進(jìn)一步的處理和治療需要遵從醫(yī)生的指導(dǎo)。

二。洗眼器執(zhí)行的標(biāo)準(zhǔn)

我國(guó)還沒有具體的洗眼器法律法規(guī)，目前主要有兩個(gè)標(biāo)準(zhǔn)參考，1、美標(biāo) ANSI Z358.1-2004，2，歐標(biāo) DIN-12899,但是，我國(guó)大多數(shù)執(zhí)行的還是美標(biāo)。
