Photoluminescent Emergency Exit Straight Ahead/Up Sign – 200 × 100 mm

The Photoluminescent Emergency Exit Straight Ahead/Up Sign is designed to guide occupants and visitors during an evacuation by indicating that the escape route continues straight ahead.

Its photoluminescent material absorbs energy from natural or artificial lighting during normal building operation. During a power failure or in reduced visibility, it gradually releases the stored energy as visible light, allowing the pictogram to be identified in darkness.

Manufactured from 2 mm rigid PVC, it provides a durable and self-extinguishing construction. High-quality digital printing with UV-resistant inks helps preserve the pictogram and its colours.

The sign requires no batteries, wiring or electrical connection and is suitable for complementing emergency lighting along indoor escape routes.

Recommended applications

• Escape routes continuing straight ahead

• Stairways and access points where specified by the safety plan
• Offices
• Shops and commercial premises
• Warehouses
• Industrial facilities
• Indoor garages
• Public buildings
• Communal areas

Installation

The sign must be installed in a clearly visible position, correctly indicating that the escape route continues straight ahead.

It can be secured to a flat surface using screws, mounting tape or another suitable fixing method. Fixing accessories are not included unless expressly stated otherwise.

To maintain its photoluminescent performance, it must receive sufficient natural or artificial light during normal operation of the premises.

Direction note

In emergency signage, an upward-pointing arrow normally means “continue straight ahead”. It should not automatically be interpreted as an instruction to go upstairs.

Where the escape route involves ascending a staircase or ramp, the specific sign defined in the building’s safety plan should be used.

Important note

Before installation, confirm that this direction corresponds to the designated escape route. The sign must not be inverted or used to indicate a different direction.

The position, height, dimensions and number of signs must comply with the building’s fire-safety plan and applicable regulations. Photoluminescent signage complements but does not replace mandatory emergency lighting.
