Defibrillator angle sign (E010) – photoluminescent
In a cardiac arrest, every minute counts. That is why everyone must be able to see at once where the nearest defibrillator is. The defibrillator angle sign shows the symbol E010 according to DIN EN ISO 7010. Thanks to its V shape, it can be recognised from both directions of a corridor. It also has a long afterglow on both sides.

Where does the defibrillator angle sign go?
The defibrillator angle sign goes directly above the device or the wall cabinet. Typical locations are entrance areas, reception, sports halls and corridors. There it can also be seen from the side. For flat walls, there is also the defibrillator sign.
Is the marking mandatory?
In German workplaces, yes. The technical rule ASR A1.3 sets out how safety signs look and where they go. In addition, ASR A2.3 requires escape routes and emergency exits to be clearly marked. That is why offices, schools, day-care centres and public authorities need the right escape route signs. Read more in our guide Escape route signs.
Which size is right?
Flag and angle signs project from the wall. This means they can also be seen from the side, for example in a long corridor. A flat wall sign, on the other hand, can only be recognised there when you are standing right in front of it. Our guide Flag sign or angle sign? explains more.
Why photoluminescent?
The film stores light from its surroundings. If the power fails, the sign continues to glow greenish for a while. This keeps it easy to see even in the dark. The film complies with DIN 67510-1, the standard for photoluminescent safety signs.
Installation
The base of the sign is fixed to the wall, for example with screws or strong mounting tape. The sign then projects from the wall at a right angle. Mount it above head height so that nobody bumps into it when walking past. Directly below the ceiling is not a good place, however, because smoke collects there first in a fire.
