E3 – SABS Photoluminescent Arrow Down & Running Man Safety Sign
Advanced Emergency Egress Marker for Vertical Escape Routes
Regulated Life-Safety Signage for Stairwells & Declining Paths
The E3 SABS Photoluminescent Arrow Down & Running Man Safety Sign is a legally-mandated emergency marker specifically engineered for identifying downward evacuation routes in South African buildings. Combining the ISO-standardized running man symbol (E001) with a directional downward arrow, this NRCS-certified photoluminescent sign provides continuous guidance during power failures, meeting stringent SANS 1186-1 and OHS Act 85 of 1993 requirements for emergency wayfinding systems.
Key Safety Features
✔ High-Intensity Photoluminescence – Grade A strontium aluminate pigments (150,000mcd/m² after 10min charge)
✔ Dual-Function Design – Running man symbol with 45° downward arrow configuration
✔ Rapid Charging – Achieves full illumination after 30 minutes under 500 lux lighting
✔ Extreme Durability – 4mm thick UV-stabilized PVC or aluminum composite options
✔ Full Compliance – Meets ISO 7010 (E001/E002), SANS 1186-1:2011, and NBR 13434-3
