Distress signal Fire escape left arrow COFAN

Distress signalFire escape text and pictogramArrow in the right direction COFAN. The sign is made of luminescent material, highly resistant and easy to install

Thedistress posterIt is made on a luminescent plate (after absorbing light, the product emits it in the dark, so it does not need any electrical source and the product can be charged an indefinite number of times).

These types of signs are installed in different types of industries as a warning and security measure, while they fulfill the function of keeping users and workers informed of relief actions in case of emergency. A fire escape is a safety device used to evacuate people from a building in the event of a fire or other emergency. The right arrow indicates the direction to go to find the fire escape.

NORMATIVE

The UNE 23035-4 regulation of December 2003 requires signs to have certain qualities of light intensity and resistance to pigment attenuation. Both the inks and the Photoluminescent PVC used in the creation of our signs largely comply with these regulations. Because safety signage can help save lives, and is mandatory, use the best signage possible. Recommendations for Use: Minimum sizes to use depending on the meters.

STORAGE, CLEANING AND PRESERVATION

The working temperature should not be higher than 45º C. Higher temperatures can deform the support material.

The optimal storage temperature will be between 15º C and 25º C; and with a humidity of 10/50%.

Cleaning methods; avoid applying abrasive products. It is recommended to clean them with water and neutral detergents.

The technical building code – Basic fire safety document requires that photoluminescent signage must comply with the UNE 23035 standard.

In order to preserve the functionality for which the signage systems have been designed, SEKURECO recommends keeping the signs free of dust, dirt or any debris or object that prevents their visibility and identification.

For cleaning, it is advisable to preferably use soapy solutions, avoiding the use of solvents or abrasive products that could damage the surface of the sign

Photoluminescent signals shall be so placed that they receive energy from a natural or artificial light source to ensure their correct operation.

In accordance with RD 513/2017 (TABLA III), luminous signalling systems shall be subject to an annual inspection/revision to be carried out by specialised personnel of the manufacturer, a maintenance company or the user or owner of the installation.

Once the useful life of the signals that make up the signaling system has expired, the inspection of said elements will be carried out following the instructions contained in RD 513/2017 and UNE 23035-2

SIGNAL INSTALLATION

Check out our blog to learn how to install a sign or poster:https://www.sekureco.eu/blog/76_consejos-de-instalacion-de-senales-de-seguridad.html

The recommended INSTALLATION HEIGHT ranges between 2 and 2.50 meters, always maintaining a separation distance of 0.30 meters from the ceiling.

Photoluminescent signs must be located so that they receive energy from a natural or artificial light source to ensure their correct operation.

The FIXING of the signaling element must be carried out on a firm surface free of dirt.

The sign may be secured using MECHANICAL ELEMENTS (screws, rivets, etc...) or ADHESIVES (assembly adhesive, glues, silicones...) carefully, avoiding soiling the visible surface or deforming it.

EVACUATION signage must be installed in such a way that an evacuation can be initiated from any point susceptible to occupation of the premises, so it is recommended to install directional signs on all routes, intersections, stairs, etc. that serve as a route.

The DOOR signage will be placed on the door lintel with the appropriate label (“EXIT”, “EMERGENCY EXIT”, NO EXIT”, …).

The signaling of MEANS OF PROTECTION against fire, rescue and/or aid will be carried out on the same elements to be signaled whenever possible.
