Photoluminescent
emergency and guidance signs
Metal Safe Sign offers a wide range of photoluminescent (PL)-signs. (See our online catalogue). All of our signs are produced on 0,68 mm
white-enameled recycled aluminum, but may on demand be produced on PVC. All symbols on our
signs are made according to ISO, NS and IMO-regulations, but customization of signs is of
course possible. Our signs provide escapees and others long and strong afterglow-effects
making wayfinding in the dark easy. Compare our test results to any other test results you
may have. You can also see our tests carried out at an underground
subway station in Norway.
Signs for
outdoor installations are also available
Example of one of our signs delivered to "Norway Trade Fairs" -
Norges
Varemesse, Lillestrøm. (The image's resolution (quality) has been decreased
in order to reduce download time on the internet).
All signs are delivered with
screw-holes for easy mounting. Other solutions may of course be incorporated. You may ask
for quotes on prices by using our contact form or use our online catalogue where you will
find all our standard signs depicted. Please note that we are able to custom-make all
sorts of signs according to the customer's specifications. Metal Safe Sign is of course
also able to supply our customers with zinc sulphide - PVC signs. Contact us by e-mail, or use our contact form.
Signs made of tempered glass - an alternative

Test results
Test-results ISO 15370:2001 Annex A - 25 lux
Illumination for 24 hours. Complete darkness and reading after 10 and 60
minutes. Light-source is 25 lux. Ask competitors for their qualities in
accordance with this standard.
Please
note: Only 25 lux charging light, and not 1000 lux (DIN 67510) like so many other
companies' use! MSS makes products for real-life applications - not laboratory tests.

This is the laboratory test that most suppliers of comparable products
refers to. MSS samples were held in absolute darkness for at least 24
hours before the samples were exposed to 25 lux for 24 hours. The following measuring

When comparing measuring and test results from other
suppliers, ALWAYS ask them what their tests are based on! Test results should reflect the
actual conditions where the products are to be used, and not optimal laboratory conditions
(contact
us for more information).

Example of Ultra Brite quality - one
of our older qualities
Our LLL-systems with the "Ultra Brite"-quality are
produced with a photoluminescent layer of 300m on 0,68 mm white-enameled aluminum.
The photoluminescent effect is measured by DIN 67510 part 1 to:
170 mcd after 10 minutes and 27,8 mcd after 60 minutes product-quality.
Test results of our LLL compared to IMO 752(18)
UltraBrite, in aluminum have passed the rigorous SOLAS regulations and are also
delivered fulfilling the following:
Low spread of flame and rate of heat
according to IMO Resolution A.653 (16) (F.T.P. part 5)
Low toxicity and smoke generation according
to ISO 5659-2 (1994) (F.T.P. part 2)
Afterglow effect by measurements of
phosphorescence in accordance with DIN 67510-1-1992
Please note: Specific requirements must be
specified when ordering; e.g. compliance of SOLAS requirements, IMO resolutions etc.
MSS-signs with the
"Ultra-Brite"-quality are produced with a photoluminescent layer of 300my on
0,68 mm white-enameled aluminum. The photoluminescent effect is measured by DIN 67510 part
1 to:
170 mcd/m2 after 10 minutes and 27,8 mcd/m2 after 60 minutes.
