Is emergency shower and eyewash testing required in New Zealand?
Yes. AS 4775 requires an annual inspection of every plumbed emergency shower, eyewash and combination unit. This confirms the equipment will perform properly in the event of a chemical exposure.
Think of it like a WOF for your emergency equipment. Over a year, water pressure can drop, valves can stiffen, and access can get blocked by stock or new equipment. An annual check picks up anything that could stop the unit working when it matters most.
What does an annual check include?
Our emergency shower and eyewash annual check covers every requirement in AS 4775, including:
- Water flow rate and spray pattern
- Water temperature
- Location and ease of access
- Signage and lighting
- Valve operation and general condition

After testing, we advise you of any issues that need fixing, provide a report for every unit tested, and sign off the annual test tag on each unit.
How often should emergency showers and eyewashes be tested?
AS 4775 sets two testing requirements:
- Weekly flushing. Each unit should be activated weekly to clear sediment and confirm water is reaching the outlet. This is usually done by your own team.
- Annual inspection. A full check of the unit against the standard, which pH7 can carry out for you.
Prefer to test in house?
Our Emergency Shower & Eyewash Test Kit lets your team carry out testing themselves. It’s especially useful for keeping on top of the weekly flushing requirement under AS 4775. Training on the kit is available for $150.
