Frequently asked questions

What does the symbol on this sign show?

A red no-entry circle over an icon of water being poured onto a flame, with the wording "Do not extinguish with water" underneath.

Why would water not be used on some fires?

Water conducts electricity and can spread certain flammable liquid fires, so it's marked as prohibited on equipment or in areas where those risks apply.

Does it meet a recognised standard?

Yes. The prohibition symbol is BS EN ISO 7010 compliant, the international standard for safety sign graphics.

What sizes are available?

Three sizes: 150mm x 200mm, 200mm x 300mm and 300mm x 400mm, so you can match the sign to where it's fixed.

Which material holds up best outdoors?

Rigid PVC, foam PVC and vinyl composite are all suited to exterior use as well as indoor fixing. Self-adhesive vinyl needs a smooth, clean, non-porous surface.

Can this be fixed to a barrier or post?

Yes, but only on the vinyl composite option: it adds horizontal channel fixing for vertical posts and vertical channel fixing for horizontal bars such as gates or car park barriers. Other materials fix with self-adhesive backing or drill holes.

What does the photoluminescent option do?

It charges under ambient light and glows if the power fails or a room goes dark, useful near escape routes and fire risk areas in low light.
