ISO 11902 Emergency Signage Testing
The ISO 11902 series of standards provides a framework for ensuring that emergency signage in aircraft is both effective and compliant with international safety regulations. This testing ensures that critical information can be communicated clearly, even under high stress situations, thereby enhancing passenger safety and operational efficiency.
Compliance with this standard is mandatory for all aerospace manufacturers and operators around the globe. It ensures that emergency signage meets stringent requirements regarding visibility, legibility, and durability. The tests are conducted to verify that signs meet specific criteria set out in ISO 11902-3, which covers luminous directional exit signs.
The testing process involves a series of rigorous checks aimed at evaluating the performance under various simulated conditions. These include assessing the sign’s ability to function effectively both during and after power failure scenarios. The tests also ensure that the signage remains legible in low-light environments, which is crucial for emergency evacuations.
Our facility uses state-of-the-art equipment and methodologies to replicate real-world scenarios accurately. This includes simulating various environmental conditions such as humidity, temperature changes, and exposure to sunlight, all of which can affect the longevity and visibility of signs. Our team of experts ensures that every aspect of the test is conducted with precision and accuracy.
Once the tests are completed, we provide detailed reports that outline the performance metrics against ISO 11902-3 criteria. These reports serve as a critical tool for quality managers and compliance officers to ensure ongoing adherence to safety standards. The data collected during these tests is invaluable in identifying areas of improvement and ensuring continuous enhancement of safety measures.
Our service goes beyond mere testing; we offer comprehensive support throughout the entire process, from initial consultation to final report delivery. We understand the importance of this testing for your operations and are committed to providing you with reliable and accurate results that meet all regulatory requirements.
