Our markings allow your employees and visitors to instantly identify which gas or liquid flow is passing through a specific pipe, significantly reducing the risk of accidents.
Our pipe markers have a self-adhesive backing and are available in rolls or sheets, making them easy to apply. In specific situations, we recommend using signs that are attached to the pipes with pipe clamps, for even greater visibility and durability.

FAQ
Hanging evacuation plans is mandatory in every public space . This applies specifically to:
- All workplaces (offices, warehouses, shops, catering, daycare centers, etc.)
- All tourist accommodations (B&Bs, Airbnbs, hotels, etc.)
- All apartment buildings built after 1994, or which have undergone a renovation with a permit since then.
This obligation is regulated, among other things, in the ARAB, Royal Decree of 7 July 1994 for fire safety, Royal Decree of 28 March 2014 for fire safety and the local police codes.
A standard evacuation plan includes the following elements:
- The locations of gathering places.
- The positions of the primary fire extinguishing equipment (fire extinguishers, fire hose reels, etc.).
- The locations of fire alarms and fire telephones if a fire control panel is present.
- The positions of first aid kits.
- All available (emergency) exits.
- The locations of any hazardous situations/areas, such as electrical cabinets, gas connections, and the storage of flammable substances.
- Instructions in case of fire.
- Instructions in case of a medical emergency.
Yes and no. It depends on the situation. If you are dealing with a simple situation with only one or maximum two escape routes, you can use a simplified plan. Although your evacuation plan must still meet legal requirements, it can be less complex.
Note: If you have multiple evacuation routes, for example, the requirements are much stricter. In that case, it is best to call in an expert.
According to the standard guideline, you should hang at least one plan per floor and at the entrance of the building. In most (simple) cases this will be sufficient.
However, in large spaces, such as those with multiple escape routes, it may be necessary to hang multiple plans to ensure smooth evacuation along different routes. You can largely judge this yourself, but the final decision lies with the fire department.
If you have no other choice, one escape route is sufficient. However, it is advisable to always provide two escape routes in opposite directions. That way, you always have an alternative escape route available if one side is blocked or in case of fire.
