Way Guidance<br />
In situations of emergency<br />
evacuation, especially when<br />
confronted by power failure,<br />
a way guidance system using<br />
photoluminescent tapes, signs and<br />
markers will help to indicate clearly<br />
defined escape routes, saving<br />
critical time for the evacuation of<br />
the building.<br />
BS 5266-6: 1999, is a Code of<br />
Practice for non-electrical low<br />
mounted way guidance marking<br />
using a photoluminescent system.<br />
It recommends how to plan, design,<br />
install and maintain the system<br />
when used in conjunction with<br />
powered emergency lighting. The<br />
use of this standard, combined<br />
with BS ISO 16069:2004, Graphical<br />
symbols-Safety signs - Safety way<br />
guidance systems and BS 5499-4:<br />
2000, Code of Practice for escape<br />
route signs, gives the answers to<br />
most questions that could be asked<br />
from those contemplating installing<br />
a photoluminescent way guidance<br />
system.<br />
Note:For a satisfactory performance,<br />
The installation of a photoluminescent way<br />
guidance system does not replace the use<br />
of powered emergency lighting when this is<br />
required, but compliments its existence<br />
The emphasis of the new Fire<br />
Safety Order is on risk reduction<br />
and fire prevention.<br />
Have you done all you can to<br />
comply – let us help you.<br />
Sign size coding is made up in most cases<br />
of 2 letters. The first letter indicates the<br />
length, the second indicates the height.<br />
For example, if the sign size is RG, the sign<br />
will be 600mm length x 200mm height.<br />
Here is a complete list of letters with<br />
corresponding sizes.<br />
Wellglow Lightsticks<br />
The Wellglow Lightsticks require no<br />
naked flame, electrical connection or<br />
battery. The Emergency Lights give off no<br />
spark or heat. All the energy created by a<br />
non-toxic chemical reaction is given off<br />
as light for 12 hours continuously once<br />
activated.<br />

orientation during evacuation,<br />
and will enhance your overall<br />
way guidance system.<br />

photoluminescent materials require initial<br />
activation from a good light source.<br />
