ISO 7010

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The ISO 7010 standard specifies rescue, prohibition, mandatory, warning and fire protection signs. The shapes and colors are based on ISO 3864. The standard is intended to ensure greater security internationally through uniform labels.

The European standard is EN ISO 7010 , the current version of which was adopted by the European Committee for Standardization in March 2020. In Austria it replaces the ÖNORM Z1000.

Emergency lighting and afterglow

Both the fire protection signs and the escape signs must be photoluminescent according to ASR A1.3 if no electrical emergency lighting is available. This means that the signs, when stimulated by light, shine independently without any energy supply. The colors are lost, but the shapes remain recognizable as outlines.

Classification

The various characters are divided into categories. Within this, the characters are numbered consecutively. The following is a list of the categories:
