Title: EN 7010
Post by: davidandrewsuk on December 01, 2008, 09:26:55 AM

Does anybody here know much about this?

As I understand it ISO 7010 is set to become and EN.

Someone told me its means eventually all the Euro signs will need replacing?

That true?

There will be no change for those that have escape route signs with graphical symbols that conform to BS 5499 Part 4 as ISO 7010 is the same graphical symbol.  ISO 7010 is in the process of being adopted as an EN and will have to be implemented without deviation by member states. This will Standardised the graphical symbol for evacuation route location, identification and egress direction guidance.

Thank you for the kind words, I am fine and ready to battle with LG&C over their plans to let our police become security guards and Tesco cash transporters and our fireman to become risk assessors. Have you heard anything as crazy as that. They call it FREEDOM? and something or other.
