Fire Extinguisher Photoluminescent Flag Sign ISO 7010, per DIN 67510-1 / Class C

Fire extinguisher flag sign (F001) – photoluminescent on both sides

In long corridors, a flat wall sign can only be seen when you are standing right in front of it. The fire extinguisher flag sign solves this problem. It projects at a right angle from the wall and shows the symbol F001 according to DIN EN ISO 7010 on both sides. This means the extinguisher’s location can be seen from far away.

Where does the fire extinguisher flag sign go?

The fire extinguisher flag sign goes directly above the fire extinguisher. According to ASR A2.2, the extinguisher’s handle should be between 0.80 m and 1.20 m high. The sign goes above it, clearly visible from both directions. Our guide Fire extinguisher sign explains everything else.

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 A2.2 requires fire-fighting equipment to be clearly marked. That is why every location needs the right fire safety sign. Our article Safety signs and their meaning explains what the signs mean.

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. Choose the size according to the distance: according to ASR A1.3, 150 mm is enough for up to 15 m, 200 mm for up to 20 m.

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.
