Fire Exit & Hazard Signages

Applications

Every building requiring Fire NOC needs compliant exit signage, fire equipment location markers, and hazard identification signs. Signage requirements apply to warehouses, offices, hospitals, schools, malls, and industrial facilities across Gujarat.

Gujarat fire officers during NOC inspection specifically check exit signage visibility, illumination during power failure simulation, and fire equipment location sign presence at extinguishers, hose reels, and hydrant points.

• Exit and emergency exit signs at all building exits and floor discharge points
• Directional escape route markers at corridor intersections and decision points
• Fire equipment location signs at extinguishers, hose reels, hydrant landing valves, and fire alarm panels
• Hazard identification signs — electrical danger, flammable material, no smoking, gas cylinder storage
• Assembly point markers and floor identification signs for multi-storey buildings
• Photoluminescent low-location wayfinding strips in hotels, hospitals, and high-rise buildings

Technical Specifications

Photoluminescent signs comply with IS 9457 and absorb ambient light to glow during power failure — typically providing 60–90 minutes visibility after lights go out. Sign brightness and duration depend on material grade and prior light exposure.

Illuminated exit signs with battery backup provide continuous visibility regardless of ambient light conditions. Required where photoluminescent performance may be insufficient — basements, windowless corridors, and areas with low ambient light exposure.

Standard sizes: 300 × 100 mm for directional arrows, 300 × 150 mm for exit signs, 200 × 200 mm for equipment location signs. Larger formats available for long-view corridors and warehouse aisles. Aluminium composite or acrylic faces with photoluminescent or LED illumination.

Selection and Placement Guidance

Correct signage placement is as important as the signs themselves. NBC requires exit signs visible from all approach directions to exits, directional signs at corridor intersections where escape route direction changes, and equipment location signs at each fire fighting equipment point.

Mount exit signs above doorways at 2.0–2.5 m height or at ceiling level for suspended signs in malls and atriums. Low-location photoluminescent wayfinding at 300 mm height supplements upper signs in smoke conditions where ceiling-level visibility is reduced.

We conduct placement surveys aligned with NBC exit route requirements, producing layout drawings showing sign type, size, and location for each floor. These drawings support Fire NOC documentation and ensure consistent installation by electrical contractors.

Supply and Survey Services

Rachna Fire & Safety supplies signage as part of fire safety EPC packages or as standalone supply with placement survey. We deliver signs with mounting hardware and installation guidance for your electrical contractor.

For NOC renewal projects where existing signage is inadequate, our gap audit identifies missing, damaged, or incorrectly placed signs with a supply and installation quotation for remedial compliance.
