signs according to the IMDG Code.
Technical information
- Materials
Why photoluminescent?
This is an ideal material to use for safety signs because photoluminescent material stores energy
from a light source and releases the light energy in darkness. There must always be enough light to
activate the material while the brightness and period of glow depends on the grade and thickness
of pigment used. Maritime Progress photoluminescent material far exceeds the glow properties
required for Low Location Lighting systems and has Marine Equipment Directive certification by
Lloyds for this purpose. The same material is used as standard for all photoluminescent signs.

Technical Information
- Installation
Viewing distance
The relative size and shape of the symbol within a sign is dictated by International standard.
The viewing distance will vary dependant on the illumination conditions, the angle of viewing
h = 130mm
and the eyesight of the viewer. International Standards use a formula that compares viewing
distance against height of the symbol multiplied by a distance factor when viewed at an
incidence angle of 90. This distance factor varies dependant on the user population and
illumination at the surface of the sign. International Standards suggest a general value of 60
can be used for Z0 and an example of the formula is given here. For calculation of viewing
distance given a specific situation please contact your sign supplier.
l= Viewing distance (mm)
l=Z0h Z0 =
h=
Distance factor taking into account light levels and
viewing angle. (ISO:3864-1:2011).
Symbol height (mm)
Z0 = 60 (general value as
defined in ISO
3864-1:2011)
Sign position
Viewing
= Z0h
Signs should be positioned so that the vertical and horizontal viewing angle is as near to the distance
normal as possible. This will vary depending on the function of the sign but as an example = 60x130
signs placed 1700mm from deck level will be at the same height as the average viewers eye = 7800mm (7.8M)
level with minimal vertical viewing angle. Positioning a sign at 2000mm from deck level will
maintain a small viewing angle but raise the sign above the average persons height, making
it visible from a crowd. Low Location Way Guidance signs should be placed no more than
300mm from deck level.
Installation Procedures - Self-Adhesive products (PV,WV,)
For satisfactory installation of self adhesive signs, posters and tapes, surfaces should be
smooth, clean, dust and grease free. Peel off the backing paper, align the item to ensure it
is straight, and allow one edge to stick to the mounting surface. Work away from the centre
of this edge gently smoothing the product into place with a wad of soft clean cloth, ensuring
no air bubbles are trapped. Self-adhesive products are not suitable for applying to emulsion
surfaces.
Installation procedures Rigid products (PR, WR, EL)
Rigid signs can be drilled at each corner for

mechanical fixing and suspension from the deck
head, or can be fixed in place using applied
adhesives, double sided adhesive pads or
suspension kits as detailed on page 59. Where
adhesives are used the sign should be temporarily
fixed in place using adhesive tape along it's top
edge so that a hinge is formed. Once this is done
flip the sign up to reveal the back and apply the
adhesive. Turn the sign back down allowing it to
stick to the bulkhead. Apply pressure with a wad
of soft cloth and ensure a good contact by adding
additional tape until the adhesive has cured.

Means of escape
- Low location lighting
SOLAS, Chapter II-2 Regulation 13.3.2.5.1 to 13.3.2.5.2 refers to the marking of escape routes
on passenger ships. The regulation requires ships carrying passengers to be fitted with electric
or photoluminescent Low Location Lighting and if carrying more than 36 passengers these
regulations also apply to the crew accommodation.
Maritime Progress Photoluminescent Rigid Strip LLL System is certified by Lloyds to comply
with the Marine Equipment Directive (MED) covering fire resistance and glow properties required
for the component parts of Low Location Lighting systems.
The system comprises of an aluminum carrier extrusion and rigid photoluminescent insert panels.
It offers a quick and easy installation combined with rugged and durable quality.
0038/10 ISO:15370 Ships and marine technology Low location lighting on passenger ships requires
all escape routes, including stairs, to be marked by LLL. Where a photoluminescent material is
used this should be a minimum of 75mm wide, unless the photoluminescent performance is
increased to allow a narrower width. The superior glow properties of the material manufactured
by Maritime Progress allow systems narrower than 75mm to be used.
The standard system uses a material with glow properties within the PSPA class B range. It has
a carrier with a 50mm visible width of photoluminescent material and is angled away from vertical
to allow the photoluminescent panel to catch more ambient light.
The slim line system uses a similar angled carrier but by using photoluminescent material within
the PSPA class C range visible width is reduced to just 35mm.
When fitting LLL systems reference is to be made to IMO Resolution A.752 (18) for the evaluation,
testing and application of Low Location Lighting.
Class Class This range of signs, printed on heavy duty transparent vinyl (TV), is designed specifically to use
C B with our standard photoluminescent LLL material and tape. Available in packs of ten they are
2374 2394 placed on photoluminescent material so that the printed symbol is highlighted when ordinary
lighting fails.

The carrier is fixed to the bulkhead by countersunk screws, the heads being covered by the
photoluminescent panels which are simply slipped into the extrusion.
Internal and external corners, and drops up and down stairways, are easily made by mitering the
extrusion and cutting the photoluminescent panels to suit. The LLL signs shown opposite, should
be used to give direction indication. End caps are available to neatly terminate the extrusion where
required.
The LLL strip should be positioned no higher than Specify the number

are more than 2m wide, LLL strips should be stops required at

top and bottom clearly identified with signs 2384
or 2385 applied to the strip. 'Dead end' passages
should be marked with arrows signs 2382 or 2383
spaced no more than 1m apart to direct people
away from the dead end.
The photoluminescent strip should be run up

vertically to the handle of each door which forms
part of the escape route. 'Exit' signs 2386 or 2375
2395 (35mm)
2387 should be provided at each exit, located (50mm)
on the same side as the door handle. Fire and
watertight doors should be marked to show how
the door opens. All photoluminescent material
must produce at least 15 mcd/m2 after10 minutes 1000mm (max)
following removal of external light sources and
at least 2 mcd/m2 after 60 minutes when tested
in situ. The installer should ensure that sufficient
light is available to activate the photoluminescent 300mm (max)
material to attain this performance. Systems
should have their luminescence tested at least
once every 5 years.
SOLAS Regulation 13 Means of Escape. The

purpose of this regulation is to provide means of escape
so that persons on board every type of vessel can safely
and swiftly escape to the lifeboat and liferaft embarkation
deck. In a fire situation with associated smoke the use of
a photoluminescent material and signs at low level will
provide clear guidance, enabling crew and passengers
to escape to the embarkation deck.
Way finding tape PV2024 and PV2028 are ideal when

considering way guidance providing sufficient light is
PV 2024 - 40mm x 10m available to activate the photoluminescent material.
PV 2028 - 80mm x 10m Supplied with 10 left & 10 right handed decals to allow
tape to indicate either direction.
Means of escape
- Stair safety guidance
SOLAS, Chapter II-2 Regulation 13, Means of Escape. This regulation ensures that means of
escape are provided so that persons on board can safely and swiftly escape to the lifeboat and
liferaft embarkation deck.
Stairs represent a slip and trip hazard and

a serious obstacle when part of a means
of escape. Photoluminescent stair nosing
provides an excellent method of highlighting
stairs along an escape route. 2398

Fire control plans
- Plan modification / creation
SOLAS Chapter II-2, Regulation 15.2.4 requires general

arrangement plans to be permanently exhibited for the guidance
of the ships officers. These plans are to show the structural fire
prevention measures, the location of fire fighting equipment and
the means of access to different compartments. Description in
such plans shall be in the language or languages required by the Administration. If the language
is neither English or French, a translation into one of these languages shall be included.
IMO Resolution A.952(23) Graphical symbols for shipboard fire control plans
refers to the International Standard ISO 17631:2002. The Maritime Progress fire
and safety plan design department uses symbols from this standard to assist
customers develop suitable fire control plans. When an item of equipment is not
covered by the ISO standard reference is made to the large library of symbols
that have been created to match some customers specific needs.
All work is carried out using the latest internationally recognized IMO/ISO
graphical symbols. Drawings are produced as originals working from prints of
the ship's general arrangement or by importing existing CAD files held by the
customer. This allows us to offer complete, full colour, laminated drawings to A0+ size to cover
most ship board requirements. If required, plans can be securely archived for the customer,
thereafter retrieval and modification can be quick and cost effectively made.
SOLAS Chapter II-2, Regulation 13.7.2.2 requires Ro-Ro

passenger ships to display simple mimic plans showing
the you are here position and escape routes prominently
displayed on the inside of cabin doors and in public spaces.
Plans printed on PSPA Class C photoluminescent vinyl

Temporary tie tags
Temporary tie tags provide a way
to mark items of machinery and
areas for safety reasons. The tags
are traceable so are ideal when
used during maintenance and in
connection with the vessel permit
to work system. They can form an
important element within any ISM
system.

Pipelines should be marked at least once in each space; at each penetration point in
bulkheads and decks, close to each valve and within a distance of 3-5m along the length
of the pipeline. Local conditions may require more marking due to pipe bends or the close
proximity of pipes for different services.
Prior to application, pipes should be dust and oil free. The tape should overlap by at least
20mm on the blind side of the pipe, however on pipes with an external circumference of
over 200mm the tape only needs to cover half the circumference of the pipe.
Anti-Spray Tape
Protects engine pipeline installations against leakage in accordance with SOLAS Chapter
II-2, Regulation 4.2.2.5.3. The anti-spray tape directs any potential leakage to areas
where flammable substance will not be dangerous. Enhanced with a fire retardant (self
extinguishing) adhesive layer which is also water resistant. The tape has a temperature
