✔ Energy-efficient Photoluminescent EXIT Signs
By NFPA and ICC-codes, exit signs shall be listed in accordance with UL924 Standard for Emergency Lighting and shall function for 90 minutes in case of primary power loss. Permalight® Photoluminescent EXIT signs were tested by Underwriters Laboratories and ETL Intertek Testing respectively in compliance with UL924, listed for both the United States and Canada. Activated by 5 foot-candles (54 lux) of ambient fluorescent lighting at all times of building occupancy, Permalight® UL924-EXIT signs remain legible for 90 minutes after normal lighting has failed, and continue to emit their declining luminance for several days.
✔ OSHA compliant
The Occupational Safety and Health Administration requires in OSHA 1910.37 (b)(6) that each exit sign must be illuminated to a surface value of at least five foot-candles (54 lux) by a reliable light source and be distinctive in color. Permalight® Photoluminescent EXIT signs must be illuminated by those five foot-candles (54 lux) from a reliable light source and the exit signs are distinctive in color.
✔ GSA P100 compliant
PBS-P100, the “Facilities Standards for the Public Buildings Service” is GSA’s mandatory facilities standard. P100 requires in Paragraph 6.3.3.2 that exit signs must meet the requirements in NFPA 101 and be energy efficient and environmentally friendly products (e.g., photoluminescent exit signs). Tritium exit signs must not be installed. Tritium exit signs, also known as self-luminous exit signs contain radioactive gas. That is NOT what American Permalight®, Inc. supplies.
