7、h the active participation of German experts. The responsible German body involved in its preparation was the Normenausschuss Sicherheitstechnische Grundstze (Safety Design Principles Standards Committee), Joint Committee NA 095-01-06 GA Sicherheits-kennzeichnung. This standard contains internationa
8、l safety signs as in ISO 7010, some of which deviate from those specified in DIN 4844-2:2001-02 and ASR A1.3 (2007-04 edition). Germany plans to adopt the safety signs in accordance with ISO 7010 and to revise DIN 4844-2 and ASR A1.3 accordingly. Until this is done, the safety signs specified in DIN
9、 4844-2:2001-02 and ASR A1.3 (2007-04 edition) apply. The present standard gives information on the location of emergency safety notices (containing instructions to be followed in case of fire or other emergencies), but does not specify their design or content. The examples of escape plans given in
10、the informative Annex A only include examples of safety notices. In Germany, the current form for such notices has proved useful up to now: Safety notices giving instructions in case of fire are framed in red, while instructions in case of other emergencies are framed in green. It is recommended tha
11、t the questions “who, what, where, why, how and when“ be considered when drawing up these instructions. Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this document may be the subject of patent rights. DIN and/or ISO shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such p
12、atent rights. The DIN Standards corresponding to the International Standards referred to in this document are as follows: ISO 216 DIN EN ISO 216 ISO 3864-1 DIN 4844-1 ISO 3864-3 DIN ISO 3864-3 ISO 7010 DIN 4844-2 Amendments This standard differs from DIN 4844-3:2003-09 as follows: a) ISO 23601:2009
13、has been adopted in full; b) the colour coding of the location of the viewer has been changed; c) different colours for horizontal and vertical escape routes are no longer necessary; d) the minimum scales of the escape plans have been changed depending on the size of the facility; e) the size of esc

17、 for graphical symbols for use in safety signs DIN ISO 23601:2010-12 4Introduction There is a need to standardize a system of communicating escape routes in facilities that relies as little as possible on the use of words to achieve understanding. Continued growth in international trade, travel and
18、mobility of labour requires a common method of conveying this important safety information to the occupants of facilities. The use of this International Standard is expected to reduce risk by providing a means of improved training and education and to reduce possible confusion in times of emergency.
19、 Through the use of ISO 7010 safety signs, colour coding and specific design requirements, this International Standard establishes a common method of illustrating the position of the viewer in relation to designated escape routes leading to emergency exits and the location of fire safety and emergen
20、cy 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 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
21、 Some countries statutory regulations may differ in some respect from those given in this International Standard.

22、rrect understanding of the document. Users should therefore consider 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 faci
23、litys occupants. These plans may also be used by intervention forces 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
24、 technical drawings for use by specialists. 2 Normative references The following referenced documents are indispensable for the application of this document.

27、, the terms and definitions given in ISO 17724 and the following apply. 3.1 emergency safety notice instructions for occupants, to be followed in case of emergency DIN ISO 23601:2010-12 63.2 escape plan plan displayed for the occupants of a facility on which are illustrated the necessary elements fo
28、r escape and on which may appear information required for evacuation, rescue and for a first intervention 3.3 escape route designated route to a place of intended safety 3.4 escape plan detail detailed representation of the area marked in the overview plan based on floor plans 3.5 fire safety notice
29、 instructions for occupants, 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 numbe
30、r of essential elements 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) identificatio
31、n of all escape routes; 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
32、in case of emergency or 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 T
33、he escape plan shall be 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 escap
34、e plan. b) Escape plans shall use colour. DIN ISO 23601:2010-12 7N1) National footnote: Including fire protection concepts. N1)c) 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
35、than the following shall be used: 1:250 for 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 safe
36、ty signs on the escape plan. For a series of 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 defi
37、ned areas shall be illustrated consistently. 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 vertica
38、l illumination on escape plans comprising ordinary 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 plan
39、s comprising phosphorescent materials may be 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 lumina
40、ire shall not substantially subtract from this. 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 d
41、efined in ISO 3864-1:2002, Table 4. h) The 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 orie
42、ntation of the plan as displayed shall be related 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 safet
43、y signs that are the same as in their installed 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
44、 plans shall show the position of the assembly 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 sh
45、all be 2 mm. Fonts should be chosen that maximize the legibility at the intended viewing distance. DIN ISO 23601:2010-12 8N2)Nationalfootnote:SeeNationalForeword.N2)b) 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
46、 shall be at least 60 % of the height of the 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
47、represented by lines of a minimum width of 0,6 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 u
48、ser a sense of scale/distance.
