8、for Standardization) is a worldwide federation of national standards bodies (ISO member bodies). The work of preparing International Standards is normally carried out through ISO technical committees. Each member body interested in a subject for which a technical committee has been established has t

9、he right to be represented on that committee. International organizations, governmental and non-governmental, in liaison with ISO, also take part in the work. ISO collaborates closely with the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) on all matters of electrotechnical standardization. Interna

10、tional Standards are drafted in accordance with the rules given in the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2. The main task of technical committees is to prepare International Standards. Draft International Standards adopted by the technical committees are circulated to the member bodies for voting. Publicatio

11、n as an International Standard requires approval by at least 75 % of the member bodies casting a vote. Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this document may be the subject of patent rights. ISO shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights

12、. ISO 23601 was prepared by Technical Committee ISO/TC 145, Graphical symbols, Subcommittee SC 2, Safety identification, signs, shapes, symbols and colours. BS ISO 23601:2009ISO 23601:2009(E) ISO 2009 All rights reserved vIntroduction There is a need to standardize a system of communicating escape r

13、outes in facilities that relies as little as possible on the use of words to achieve understanding. Continued growth in international trade, travel and mobility of labour requires a common method of conveying this important safety information to the occupants of facilities. The use of this Internati

14、onal Standard is expected to reduce risk by providing a means of improved training and education and to reduce possible confusion in times of emergency. Through the use of ISO 7010 safety signs, colour coding and specific design requirements, this International Standard establishes a common method o

15、f illustrating the position of the viewer in relation to designated escape routes leading to emergency exits and the location of fire safety and emergency equipment close and adjacent to escape routes. Escape plans are an integral part of a facilitys system of safety signs and play an integral role

16、in a building owners fire safety management plan. Escape plans are a necessary component of a facilitys safety way guidance system (see ISO 16069). NOTE Some countries statutory regulations may differ in some respect from those given in this International Standard. BS ISO 23601:2009BS ISO 23601:2009

Users should therefore consid

18、er printing this document using a colour printer. 1 Scope This International Standard establishes design principles for displayed escape plans that contain information relevant to fire safety, escape, evacuation and rescue of the facilitys occupants. These plans may also be used by intervention forc

19、es in case of emergency. These plans are intended to be displayed as signs in public areas and workplaces. This International Standard is not intended to cover the plans to be used by external safety services nor detailed professional technical drawings for use by specialists. 2 Normative references

25、ants, to be followed in case of fire 3.6 overview plan simplified graphical representation used to relate the escape plan detail to the overall facility or site 4 General Before applying the design principles, the fire safety management procedures shall have determined a number of essential elements

26、 to be shown on the escape plans. The escape plans shall be a reflection of the study of the following information: a) fire safety manuals and procedures; b) current site and facility plan drawing(s) with key features of the facility as verified by site visit; c) identification of all escape routes;

27、 d) evacuation planning documentation including expected people movement and any instructions given and the way they are to be given; e) location of all fire-fighting equipment and alarms; f) location of emergency equipment and evacuation aids; g) required actions to be taken in case of emergency or

28、 fire; h) location of refuge and assembly points. The purpose of escape plans is to help people orient themselves in relation to the planned escape route. In this way, the escape plan complements the facilitys safety way guidance system (see ISO 16069). 5 Design requirements The escape plan shall be

29、 designed in accordance with the evacuation strategy of the facility and addresses the specific needs of the occupants of the premises or part thereof. The following requirements shall be met by any escape plan. a) The exact location of the user shall be indicated on the escape plan. b) Escape plans

30、 shall use colour. BS ISO 23601:2009ISO 23601:2009(E) ISO 2009 All rights reserved 3c) The scale of the escape plan is dependent on the size of the facility, the level of detail to be illustrated and the intended location of the escape plan. Scales no less than the following shall be used: 1:250 for

31、 large-sized facilities; 1:100 for small- to medium-sized facilities; 1:350 for plans displayed in individual rooms. Detailed elements such as stairs or corridors may be drawn to a larger scale to increase conspicuity or to accommodate the placement of safety signs on the escape plan. For a series o

32、f escape plans for the same facility, the same scale should be used. For certain specific areas of the facility, e.g. parking areas or technical spaces, other scales may be used to recognize the extent of empty space. d) In a set of facility plans, all defined areas shall be illustrated consistently

33、. e) In order to achieve sufficient visibility and legibility, the vertical illumination on escape plans shall be no less than 50 lx provided by the normal lighting. Where emergency lighting is provided in case of failure of the normal lighting, the vertical illumination on escape plans comprising o

34、rdinary materials or phosphorescent materials shall be no less than 5 lx. Where emergency lighting is not provided in case of failure of the normal lighting or where a phosphorescent safety way guidance system according to ISO 16069 is provided, escape plans comprising phosphorescent materials may b

35、e used. In all cases, the phosphorescent material shall be no less than classification C according to ISO 17398. f) In order to identify safety colours on the plans, the minimum value for the colour-rendering index, Ra, from a lamp shall be W 40. The luminaire shall not substantially subtract from t

36、his. Where escape plans are based on phosphorescent materials, excitation shall be from white fluorescent lamps. Low-pressure sodium lamps shall not be used. g) The background of an escape plan shall have the safety colour white or phosphorescent white as defined in ISO 3864-1:2002, Table 4. h) The

37、minimum size of an escape plan shall be 297 mm 420 mm (A3) except for escape plans to be located in individual rooms where the plan size may be reduced to 210 mm 297 mm (A4). A tolerance of 5 % is acceptable. i) Escape plans shall be up to date. j) The orientation of the plan as displayed shall be r

38、elated to the viewer so that locations on the left of the plan are to the viewers left and locations on the right of the plan are to the viewers right. k) When safe condition and fire-fighting equipment are indicated on the escape plan, they shall use safety signs that are the same as in their insta

39、lled location in the facility and both shall conform to ISO 7010. l) Escape plans shall have a legend. m) Escape plans shall have a standardized header, including the words “Escape plan” in the language(s) of the country in which the plan is used. n) Escape plans shall show the position of the assem

40、bly points as part of the escape plan detail or on an overview plan. 6 Size of plan elements The following requirements shall be met. a) Information presented on escape plans shall be legible at the intended viewing distance. The minimum lettering height shall be 2 mm. Fonts should be chosen that ma

41、ximize the legibility at the intended viewing distance. BS ISO 23601:2009ISO 23601:2009(E) 4 ISO 2009 All rights reservedb) The minimum height of the header shall be at least 7 % of the smallest dimension of the escape plan and the height of its characters shall be at least 60 % of the height of the

42、 header. Examples are given in Table 1. c) Safety signs shown on the plan shall have a minimum height of 7 mm. d) The line width for the graphical representation of the facilitys structural walls shall be at least 1,6 mm. Interior partition walls shall be represented by lines of a minimum width of 0

43、,6 mm. If detailed elements are shown on the plan (e.g. stairs, shelves, windows), they shall be shown by lines of a minimum width of 0,15 mm. In the representation of long escape corridors, architectural features or equipment should be shown to give the user a sense of scale/distance. Table 1 Examp

45、an shall have a header. For the header, upper- and lower-case letters may be used. 7.2 Overview plan Except when a small facilitys escape plan detail is itself an overview perspective of the facility, every escape plan shall incorporate an overview plan. An overview plan shall incorporate: a) the as

46、sembly point location(s); b) the overall facility/site plan with the specific section covered by the escape plan detail highlighted; c) a simplified representation of the surrounding area (e.g. roadways, parking areas, other buildings). The size of the overview plan shall not exceed 10 % of the area

47、 of the escape plan. 7.3 Escape plan detail The escape plan detail shall incorporate: a) the floor plan of the relevant part of the facility that is modified to eliminate non-essential details, highlight important elements, increase legibility and ease of comprehension, orient the plan to the positi
