Right emergency ladder, COFAN text sign and pictogram

Evacuation sign indicating Emergency exit via the right staircase cOFAN pictogram and text. It is a high quality and easy installation emergency sign. The sign is used to mark buildings, auditoriums, companies and factories to indicate the spaces intended for exit or evacuation. The direction of the sign indicates the right side

The poster is made with a layer of photoluminescent pigment (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).

Evacuation safety signs are used to indicate and guide people to emergency exits in the event of an event or situation requiring evacuation. These signs are essential to ensure safety and facilitate the quick and orderly evacuation of a building, auditorium, company or factory.

MAXIMUM VIEWING DISTANCE

• Printed on the sign.

To calculate the necessary dimensions of a sign, the formula will be applied, up to a maximum distance of 50 m:

S≥ L2 /2000

“S” represents the area of the signal in square meters, and “L” the distance in meters from which the signal can be perceived.

STORAGE, CLEANING AND CONSERVATION

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

In accordance with RD 513/2017 (TABLE III), luminescent signaling systems must undergo an annual inspection/review that will be carried out by specialized personnel from the manufacturer, a maintenance company, or by the user personnel or owner of 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.
