Businesses responsible for own fire exits

The Signkit low voltage FE LED fire exit sign could provide small businesses that are now responsible for their Fire Safety Order with a low maintenance solution. This energy efficient fire exit sign has a minimum life of 60,000 hours and an automatic battery backup to ensure continuous illumination in the event of power failure. With the abolishment of Fire certificates, all non domestic properties are now responsible to comply with the Fire Safety Order.

This new law which comes into force on the 1st October 06 requires employers, building owners and anyone else who has control over premises to carry out a fire risk assessment.

Part of the assessment will include ensuring that suitable fire exit signs are in place and to consider emergency lighting.

The Signkit low voltage FE LED fire exit sign complies with Health and Safety (Safety Signs and Signals) regulations 1996 and comes complete with a battery back-up unit to keep the sign illuminated for over 3 hours during a power failure.

The sign requires no maintenance and consumes 80% less power compared to similar T2 fluorescent systems.

This unique illuminated emergency fire exit sign offers all the benefits of LED technology and is available in two standard sizes (480mm x 160mm or 300mm x 100mm) or can be bespoke.

The sign comprises a clear acrylic panel (10mm or 8mm thick accordingly) with laser engraved and infilled graphics.

Both panels feature a quality silver anodised aluminium mounting system of a slender modern design.

'Signslot' and 'Signblock' can be ceiling or wall mounted.

The Signkit FE LED fire exit sign is a new addition to Signbox's Sign Kit range of precision engineered components for the display of signs and media.
