In Europe, safety regulations for buildings are strict, and choosing the appropriate emergency exit sign is of vital importance.
Clear and conspicuous emergency exit signs can guide people to evacuate quickly and safely in emergencies, avoiding casualties and property losses.
As a professional provider of signage solutions, SpaceLux is well aware of the strict requirements for safety signs in the European market.
We have specially summarized ten key factors for you when choosing emergency exit signs to help you easily comply with European building regulations.
Comply with European standards and regulations
This is the most important factor. Your emergency exit sign must fully comply with local relevant fire safety regulations and European standards, such as the EN ISO 7010 safety sign standard.
These regulations have clear stipulations on the size, color, symbol, font, installation height and position of the signs.
Regulations in different countries and regions may vary slightly.
SPACELUX suggests that you carefully review local regulations before purchasing to ensure that the selected logo fully complies with the requirements and avoid penalties due to non-compliance.
Excellent visibility and lighting
The core function of an emergency exit sign is to guide people to evacuate in an emergency, so visibility is of vital importance. Even in a dark and smoky environment, it must be visible. SpaceLux offers a variety of solutions, including
High-brightness sign: SPACELUX uses high-brightness reflective materials and LED lighting technology to ensure that the sign is visible under all lighting conditions.
emergency lighting integration: Some of SpaceLux’s emergency exit sign products integrate emergency lighting functions, which can continue to glow even in the event of a power outage to ensure a safe evacuation.
Color and Contrast: The logo of SpaceLux features a high-contrast color combination, such as green and white, or red and white, to ensure clear recognition against various backgrounds.
Durable materials and outstanding quality:
Emergency exit signs need to withstand various environmental tests, so the durability of the materials is of vital importance. SpaceLux uses high-quality materials to ensure quality.
Fire resistance: It can maintain integrity and readability in a fire and meets European fire protection standards.
Weather resistance: Outdoor signs need to have good weather resistance and be able to withstand harsh weather conditions such as wind, sun exposure and rain.
Impact resistance: It can withstand unexpected collisions or impacts and maintain long-lasting durability.
Clear and understandable symbols and words
The symbols and words on the emergency exit sign must be clear and understandable, so that even illiterate people can understand them easily.

We also offer multi-language versions to meet the needs of different language environments.
