EN7010 is a European standard for safety signs. Compliance means the sign uses recognized symbols and colors to effectively communicate hazards, ensuring clarity and understanding across different user groups.
What is the best surface to apply this sign on?
The sign adheres best to smooth, clean, and dry surfaces like painted walls, metal doors, or finished wood. Avoid textured, dusty, or wet surfaces.

Under normal indoor conditions and with proper application, the self-adhesive backing is designed for long-term adhesion. Factors like extreme temperatures or high humidity can affect longevity.
Can this sign be used outdoors?
While it can be used outdoors on suitable surfaces, its longevity may be reduced due to exposure to weather elements. For prolonged outdoor use, consider applying a protective sealant over the edges.
What should I do if the sign gets dirty?
Gently wipe the sign with a soft, slightly damp cloth. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive materials that could damage the sign's surface or readability.

The sign is versatile and can be used for both. For larger areas, you may consider using multiple signs to ensure comprehensive coverage.
What are the dimensions of the sign?
The sign measures 300mm in width and 100mm in height.
Troubleshooting
Sign is not sticking properly.
Ensure the application surface is thoroughly cleaned, dried, and free of dust, oil, or moisture. Reapply firm pressure to the sign, especially the edges.

This is unlikely with new signage. If the issue persists, contact the supplier. Ensure the sign has not been exposed to excessive direct sunlight or harsh chemicals.
