Frequently Asked Questions About UK Fire Exit Signs
Get quick solutions to your common fire exit sign buying questions
Following BS 5499-4 compliance guidelines, a straight ahead (up arrow) sign should be used to indicate progress forward or through a door. A down arrow sign should only be used if the escape route requires moving down to a lower floor level immediately after the sign. Use left or right arrow signs to indicate a change of direction along the evacuation route.
Yes. All fire exit and emergency escape route signage manufactured by The Sign Shed fully complies with BS EN ISO 7010 standards and the Health and Safety (Safety Signs and Signals) Regulations 1996. They feature the globally recognized green running man pictogram.
If your premises do not have adequate emergency escape lighting, or if your risk assessment requires it, you must use Class B or Class C photoluminescent signs. These glow-in-the-dark signs ensure escape routes remain clearly visible to staff and visitors even during total power failures or heavy smoke.
We manufacture our fire exit signage in Britain using high-quality 1mm rigid plastic, 1.3mm photoluminescent plastic Class B or Class C, self-adhesive vinyl stickers, or 3mm composite aluminium. All options are highly durable, UV-stabilised, and designed for fast, secure mounting on walls or above doors.
Fire exit signs in the UK must follow standard green and white colouring, as specified by BS EN ISO 7010. This ensures they are immediately recognisable. Typical symbols include:
A running person
A directional arrow
A door or stairs to indicate an exit route.
Failing to provide adequate fire exit signage can lead to legal penalties under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005. Fire safety officers conduct inspections, and non-compliance can result in:
Improvement notices requiring corrective action
Prohibition notices preventing building use
Fines or prosecution in severe cases
