Obligation sign Turn on the lights COFAN

The sign indicates the obligation to keep lights on. This sign is usually used to indicate that it is mandatory to use the vehicle's headlamps at all times, even during the day, in order to improve visibility in tunnels and confined spaces and thus reduce the risk of road accidents.

The obligation sign is also installed inside industries, private parking, where visibility could be poor, due to the lack of natural light. Meanwhile, the obligation sign it is available in different formats and two different materials to choose from, depending on the needs of your industry. It is manufactured with materials of excellent adhesion and matte finish so it can be installed both indoors and outdoors.

The signal indicates the compulsory use of lit lights with a pictogram representing a light bulb in white, whereas blue is often used in compulsory signals.

It should be noted that the use of lights during the day increases the visibility of the vehicle, this, in turn, makes the vehicle more visible to other drivers, pedestrians and cyclists, which can help reduce the risk of accidents.

The mandatory use of on lamps signal is present in places where the mandatory use of vehicle lamps during the day is required, such as tunnels, highways, mountain roads, and other industrial areas. However, the use of the vehicle lamps during the day should not replace the use of the passing lamps at night or in conditions of poor visibility. It is also important to make sure that the lights in the vehicle are in good condition and working properly before driving.

Among the most common technical characteristics of COFAN obligation signs are:

• Form: it is usually a circle with a blue border and a white pictogram representing a light bulb.
• Size: this may vary depending on the size and location of the work area.
• Colours: security signals use specific colors to communicate their message. Blue is commonly used to indicate that personal protective equipment is compulsory.
• The material: safety signs may be made of different materials, such as plastic, aluminium or vinyl sticker. The material used will depend on the location and environment in which the signal will be placed. For example, if the signal is placed in an area where there is a lot of dust or moisture, it is advisable to use a material resistant to these conditions.

THE FOLLOWING POINT IS INSERTED:

The signs of GLASSPACK of 0,7 mm consist of a semi-rigid polymer base (PVC) with a bright white finish to which color coating and protection is applied by screen printing techniques.

Our products are Non-toxic, non-radioactive, non-combustible and resistant to aging.

• SUPPORT: A glass pack of 0,7 mm (semi-rigid PVC) of a bright white colour.
• COLOUR COATING: for use in the manufacture of products falling within heading No 8542:. Colour black, green, red, blue, yellow, orange depending on the signal type. BRIGHT FINISH, PROTECTION OF THE SIGNAL AGAINST UV RAYS.

ADHESIVE PVC SIGN (STICK)

The signs are manufactured on a self-adhesive white gloss calendered monomeric vinyl sheet.

Color coating is applied using serigraphic techniques.

The adhesive is protected against inclement weather by a glossy transparent calendered laminate.

Our products are Non-toxic, non-radioactive, non-combustible and resistant to aging.

Description of the vehicle:

COLOURED LAYER INKS

Colour coating (as required by the signal) by means of multi-use UV cured screen inks on various plastics.

These are brightly finished inks, whose mixture of compounds and radiated curing method give them excellent elasticity and reactivity, not only in overprinting but also in bending and die-cutting.

Mixtures of oligomers, monomers, photoinitiators and pigments.

Ink contains the following dangerous elements:

• Hexametylene diacrylate

• Isobornil acrylate

• Oxybis diacrylate (methyl-2,1-ethanoediyl)

• 1-vinylhexahydro-2H-azepin-2-one

INSTALLATION / LOCATION / PLACEMENT OF SIGNAL

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

To properly place an obligation sign indicating that gloves are compulsory, it is important to ensure that it is clearly visible to people entering the work area. It is recommended to place the signal at eye level and in a place where it cannot be obstructed by other objects or signals.

The FIXED the signalling element must be placed on a firm surface free from dirt.

The signal may be secured by: MECHANICAL COMPONENTS (screws, rivets, etc.) or ADHESIVES (mounting adhesive, glues, silicones, etc.) carefully, avoiding dirt on the visible surface or deformation of the surface.

MAINTENANCE AND RECOMMENDATIONS

In order to preserve the functionality for which the signalling systems have been designed, SEKURECO recommends that signals be kept free from dust, dirt or any residue or object that prevents their visibility and identification.

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

The working temperature shall not exceed 45 °C. Higher temperatures may deform the support material.

GUARANTEE

SEKURECO offers in this product the legal guarantee of 2 years contained in Law 23/2003, of 10 July, on Guarantees in the Sale of Consumer Goods.

REGULATORY

UNE 23035-4 of December 2003 requires signals to have certain qualities of light intensity and resistance to pigment attenuation. Both the inks and the photoluminescent PVC used in our signage largely comply with these regulations. Since safety signage can help save lives, and is mandatory, use the best possible signage. Recommendations for use: Minimum sizes to be used based on meters.
