Evacuation signal Exit text only COFAN

Evacuation signal for Exit COFAN is a high-quality and easy-to-install sign. The sign is used to indicate buildings, auditoriums, companies, and factories to mark the areas designated for exit or evacuation.

The design of the sign may vary, but in no case will its meaning change. Specifically, the message is used to alert people that there is a meeting point to gather individuals in case of an emergency.

The sign is made with a layer of photoluminescent pigment, (after absorbing light, the product emits it in the dark, so it does not require any electrical source and can be charged an indefinite number of times).

An evacuation sign with the word "EXIT" serves to indicate the location of emergency exits in a building. These signs are essential for guiding people towards exits in case of an emergency situation, such as a fire, earthquake, or other dangerous situations.

The evacuation sign with the word "EXIT" is generally designed with large, clear letters, and is often placed in strategic locations, such as near exit doors or in hallways and corridors. This allows people to quickly identify the direction they should go to safely exit the building.

In summary, evacuation signs with the word "EXIT" are fundamental for the safety of individuals in case of an emergency. They provide a clear and visible guide to the location of exits and help people evacuate quickly and safely from the building.

STORAGE, CLEANING, AND CONSERVATION

The working temperature should not exceed 45º C. Higher temperatures may deform the support material.

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

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

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

To maintain the functionality for which the signaling systems have been designed, SEKURECO recommends keeping the signs free from dust, dirt, or any residue or object that may hinder visibility and identification.

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

Photoluminescent signs should be positioned in such a way that they receive energy from a natural or artificial light source to ensure their proper functioning.

According to RD 513/2017 (TABLE III), luminous signaling systems must undergo an annual inspection/review conducted by specialized personnel from the manufacturer, a maintenance company, or by the user or owner of the installation.

Once the useful life period of the signs that make up the signaling system has elapsed, an inspection of these elements will be carried out following the guidelines outlined in RD 513/2017 and UNE 23035-2

SIGN INSTALLATION

Check 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 from 2 to 2.50 meters, always maintaining a distance of 0.30 meters from the ceiling.

Photoluminescent signs should be positioned to receive energy from a natural or artificial light source to ensure their proper functioning.

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

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

The EVACUATION signage should be installed in such a way that from any point likely to be occupied in the premises, an evacuation can be initiated, so it is recommended to install directional signs at all routes, intersections, stairs, etc. that serve as pathways.

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

The signage for FIRE protection, rescue, and/or assistance will be carried out on the same elements to be signaled whenever possible.
