Way Guidance
In situations of emergency
evacuation, especially when
confronted by power failure,
a way guidance system using
photoluminescent tapes, signs and
markers will help to indicate clearly
defined escape routes, saving
critical time for the evacuation of
the building.
BS 5266-6: 1999, is a Code of
Practice for non-electrical low
mounted way guidance marking
using a photoluminescent system.
It recommends how to plan, design,
install and maintain the system
when used in conjunction with
powered emergency lighting. The
use of this standard, combined
with BS ISO 16069:2004, Graphical
symbols-Safety signs - Safety way
guidance systems and BS 5499-4:
2000, Code of Practice for escape
route signs, gives the answers to
most questions that could be asked
from those contemplating installing
a photoluminescent way guidance
system.
Note:For a satisfactory performance,
The installation of a photoluminescent way
guidance system does not replace the use
of powered emergency lighting when this is
required, but compliments its existence
The emphasis of the new Fire
Safety Order is on risk reduction
and fire prevention.

comply – let us help you.
Sign size coding is made up in most cases
of 2 letters. The first letter indicates the
length, the second indicates the height.
For example, if the sign size is RG, the sign
will be 600mm length x 200mm height.
Here is a complete list of letters with
corresponding sizes.
Wellglow Lightsticks
The Wellglow Lightsticks require no
naked flame, electrical connection or
battery. The Emergency Lights give off no
spark or heat. All the energy created by a
non-toxic chemical reaction is given off
as light for 12 hours continuously once
activated.

the luminosity of HILUME.
Photoluminescent floor
markers incorporating the
symbol and directional arrow
from BS5499 part 4 2000
and ISO 7010 will assist with
orientation during evacuation,
and will enhance your overall
way guidance system.

photoluminescent materials require initial
activation from a good light source.
