Nödutgångsmarkering

Nödutgångsmarkering refers to the signage and lighting systems used to indicate escape routes in buildings and other enclosed spaces. The primary purpose of these markings is to guide people to safety in the event of an emergency, such as a fire, power outage, or other evacuation scenario.

These markings typically consist of illuminated signs displaying the internationally recognized symbol for an exit. The symbol often depicts a running figure moving towards a door. In many jurisdictions, these signs are required to be photoluminescent, meaning they can absorb light and glow in the dark for a period of time, even if the primary power source fails. Alternatively, they may be powered by a separate emergency electrical system that activates when normal power is lost.

In addition to the signs, nödutgångsmarkering can also include illuminated directional arrows on walls and floors, indicating the path to the nearest exit. Emergency lighting systems, such as battery-powered lights, are also a crucial component, ensuring that escape routes remain visible during a power failure. The placement, visibility, and functionality of nödutgångsmarkering are subject to strict building codes and safety regulations to ensure their effectiveness in critical situations. Regular inspection and maintenance are essential to guarantee that these life-saving systems are always operational.
