The Scan SCA1584 Photoluminescent Push Bar to Open Safety Sign is a high-intensity, glow-in-the-dark emergency door instruction sign designed to help building occupants identify how to operate a door fitted with a push-bar opening mechanism.

Featuring the clear message “Push bar to open” alongside a supporting safety illustration, this sign helps communicate an important door-opening instruction in workplaces, commercial buildings, industrial premises and other locations with appropriate push-bar exit doors.

Manufactured from 1.3mm thick rigid material, the sign features a photoluminescent background that absorbs light and subsequently glows in darkness. This provides additional visibility when normal lighting is reduced or unavailable, provided the sign has received sufficient light exposure.

Printed using UV-resistant inks, the Scan SCA1584 Push Bar to Open Sign is designed to help resist fading and maintain clear, legible instructions.

According to the supplied product specification, the sign exceeds PSPA Class 1 classification and is designed to comply with BS 5499 and/or ISO 7010 design criteria where applicable.

Measuring 200 x 300mm, the Scan SCA1584 is a practical addition to emergency door identification and building fire safety arrangements.

Clear “Push Bar to Open” Instruction

The Scan SCA1584 Safety Sign displays the message:

“Push bar to open”

This direct instruction tells occupants how to operate a door fitted with a horizontal push-bar opening mechanism.

Push-bar doors are commonly used at certain emergency exits and other designated access points.

Push Bar Door Sign Benefits

• Provides a clear door-opening instruction

• Helps occupants recognise the correct opening method

• Supports emergency escape door identification

• Helps communicate instructions to unfamiliar visitors

• Complements fire exit and emergency escape signage

• Provides additional visibility in reduced lighting

Important: This sign should only be installed on or near doors that are actually operated using a push bar. It must not be used where the door requires a different opening action.

High-Intensity Photoluminescent Background

A key feature of the Scan SCA1584 Push Bar to Open Sign is its photoluminescent background.

Photoluminescent materials absorb energy from ambient or artificial light and release it as a visible glow when lighting levels fall.

This allows the sign to remain visible in darkness for a period after sufficient exposure to light.

Photoluminescent Benefits

• Glows in the dark after exposure to light

• Supports door instruction visibility in low-light conditions

• Does not require a separate electrical connection

• Helps occupants identify the opening method

• Complements emergency lighting and other building safety systems

Important: The sign must receive sufficient light to charge its photoluminescent material. Glow brightness and duration depend on the charging conditions and surrounding environment.

The supplied specification does not state a particular glow duration or numerical luminance measurement.

Exceeds PSPA Class 1 Classification

The Scan SCA1584 Safety Sign is specified as exceeding PSPA Class 1 classification.

This is a stated photoluminescent performance characteristic of the product.

Classification Benefits

• Indicates a defined photoluminescent performance category

• Supports selection of glow-in-the-dark safety signage

• Provides useful product information for emergency planning

• Complements the sign's high-intensity photoluminescent design

Please note: The supplied information does not include independent test documentation or numerical luminance results. The classification statement should not be interpreted as a guarantee of a particular glow duration under all conditions.

Durable 1.3mm Thick Rigid Construction

The Scan Push Bar to Open Safety Sign is manufactured from 1.3mm thick rigid material, providing a firm surface for displaying important door-opening instructions.

Rigid Sign Benefits

• Durable 1.3mm thick construction

• Maintains a firm sign format

• Practical for everyday workplace use

• Suitable for appropriate wall or door-mounted applications

• Supports clear safety communication

The exact base material is not identified in the supplied specification and should not be assumed to be PVC or another particular plastic.

UV-Resistant Printing Inks

The Scan SCA1584 Push Bar to Open Sign is printed using UV-resistant inks to help minimise fading.

This helps maintain the clarity of the message and supporting illustration during normal use.

UV-Resistant Printing Benefits

• Helps reduce fading

• Supports continued legibility

• Maintains clear door-opening instructions

• Practical for well-lit premises

• Complements the rigid sign construction

UV resistance does not guarantee complete protection against fading or establish a specific outdoor lifespan.

Non-Toxic & Non-Radioactive Photoluminescent Material

According to the supplied product specification, the Scan SCA1584 Sign uses a photoluminescent material described as:

• Non-toxic

• Non-radioactive

• Free from lead

• Free from phosphorus

The glow-in-the-dark effect is produced by photoluminescence rather than radioactive illumination.

These characteristics make the sign a practical option for appropriate emergency door signage applications.

BS 5499 & ISO 7010 Design Criteria

The Scan SCA1584 Photoluminescent Push Bar to Open Safety Sign is designed to comply with BS 5499 and/or ISO 7010 design criteria where applicable.

These standards provide recognised principles for safety sign design, symbols and visual communication.

Standards-Related Benefits

• Supports consistent emergency door signage

• Uses established safety sign design principles

• Helps occupants recognise door-opening instructions

• Complements workplace fire safety arrangements

Please note: The supplied specification refers to design criteria where applicable. It does not identify exact standard editions or confirm independent certification to either standard.

Care & Maintenance

To help maintain the sign:

Important Fire Safety Information

The Scan SCA1584 Photoluminescent Push Bar to Open Sign helps communicate an emergency door-opening instruction but should form part of wider building fire safety arrangements.

Employers, building managers and other responsible persons should ensure that:

• Emergency doors are suitable for their intended use.

• Push-bar hardware operates correctly.

• Escape doors remain accessible and unobstructed.

• Door-opening instructions accurately reflect the installed hardware.

• Required emergency lighting is provided and maintained.

• Fire exit and directional signage is correctly positioned.

• Door hardware is inspected and maintained.

• Occupants receive appropriate emergency information.

• Applicable fire safety requirements are followed.

Important: A photoluminescent push-bar instruction sign is not a substitute for emergency lighting, correctly functioning escape hardware, evacuation planning or other required fire safety measures.

The sign must not be used to suggest that a door is suitable as an emergency exit unless that door forms part of the building's approved escape arrangements.
