Q1: What does ISO 7010 mean?
ISO 7010 is an international standard that defines safety signs and symbols used globally. These standardized symbols ensure that emergency evacuation signs are universally recognized and understood—regardless of language or cultural background. ISO 7010 compliance guarantees your evacuation signage meets the highest international safety standards required by law in most countries.
Q2: Are evacuation signs legally required?
Yes. Most countries require evacuation signs in workplace facilities, public buildings, schools, hospitals, and anywhere people gather. OSHA (USA), EU regulations, and local building codes mandate that facilities provide clear, visible evacuation signage. The specific requirements vary by location and facility type, but ISO 7010 compliant signs meet legal requirements across Europe and internationally.
Q3: What size evacuation sign do I need?
Sign size depends on viewing distance and visibility requirements:
- 210x210mm: For close viewing (offices, corridors)
- 300x300mm: Standard size (most facilities)
- 420x420mm: Larger areas, longer viewing distances
- 600x600mm or larger: Large warehouses, outdoor areas
General rule: The sign should be visible from at least 10x the sign width away. For example, a 300mm sign should be readable from 3 meters. Consider your space layout and consult local building codes for specific requirements.
Q4: What's the difference between photoluminescent and reflective evacuation signs?
Reflective signs use ambient light (like from flashlights or emergency lighting) to make signs visible.
Photoluminescent signs absorb ambient light during normal conditions and emit a visible glow in darkness—requiring NO electrical connection. They're more visible during power outages and are highly recommended for emergency exit signs. Photoluminescent signs typically last 8-12 hours of continuous darkness and recharge instantly in light.
For maximum safety during emergencies, photoluminescent options provide superior visibility when power fails.
Q5: How long do photoluminescent evacuation signs last?
Photoluminescent coatings typically remain visible for 8-12 hours in complete darkness after charging from ambient light. They continuously recharge whenever exposed to light—sunlight, regular lighting, or even artificial light sources.
The coating itself lasts 5-10 years depending on:
- Material quality
- UV exposure
- Maintenance & cleaning
- Environmental conditions
Our high-quality photoluminescent signs are built for long-term durability and reliability.
Q6: Where should evacuation signs be placed?
Strategic evacuation sign placement includes:
- Above/beside emergency exits at eye level (1.5-2 meters high)
- Along evacuation routes at decision points
- At stairs indicating direction (up/down)
- Above emergency equipment (phones, AEDs, first aid)
- At assembly point locations
- Every 10-15 meters in long corridors
- In stairwells at each floor level
Signs must be visible from all occupied areas. Consult your local fire code and building regulations for specific placement requirements.
Q7: Can I use evacuation signs outdoors?
Yes! All our evacuation signs are made with weather-resistant materials suitable for indoor and outdoor use. However:
- Choose UV-resistant materials for prolonged sun exposure
- Photoluminescent options work outdoors and are highly visible at night
- Ensure proper mounting to withstand wind and weather
- Regular cleaning maintains visibility and effectiveness
- Inspect periodically for fading or damage
Outdoor assembly point signs and directional markers are essential for complete emergency preparedness.
Q8: Are your evacuation signs OSHA compliant?
Yes. Our evacuation signs meet OSHA standards (USA), ISO 7010 international standards, and EU safety requirements. OSHA requires evacuation signs to:
- Use specific colors (green/white or red/white)
- Display clear, universally recognized symbols
- Be illuminated or reflective
- Be maintained in good condition
Our ISO 7010 certified signs exceed OSHA requirements and comply with regulations across multiple countries.
Q9: What materials are evacuation signs made from?
We offer evacuation signs in multiple durable materials:
Vinyl - Affordable, weather-resistant, flexible Aluminum - Professional, long-lasting, rigidity PVC/Plastic - Durable, lightweight, cost-effective Photoluminescent Coatings - Glow-in-dark visibility
All materials are designed for durability, fade resistance, and easy installation. Choose based on your environment (indoor/outdoor), budget, and visibility requirements.
Q10: Do I need a professional to install evacuation signs?
No—most evacuation signs are simple to install with basic tools:
- Wall mounting: Simple screws or adhesive backing
- Ceiling mounting: Standard brackets and anchors
- Pole/post mounting: Basic hardware
However, consult your facility manager or local building codes for:
- Specific mounting height requirements
- Electrical connections for illuminated signs
- Professional installation for large-scale projects
- Regular inspection schedules
