PHOTOLUMINESCENT STANDARDS

The PSPA (Photoluminescent Safety Products Association) is an association that, amongst other activities, recommends acceptable levels of performance for photoluminescent material in the industry.

The PSPA defines their class standards in accordance with the methodology set out in the commonly used standard of DIN 67510 pt 1 whereby luminance is measured following a specific level of excitation and then calculation made to the threshold of visibility which is 0.32mcd/m².

It is however the current recommendation of the PSPA that PSPA class A luminance be achieved as a minimum. More recent recommendations are that class B performance should be the minimum acceptable level and the recent Fire Regulatory Reform Act re-enforces this.

The industry has spent a lot of time discussing standards in the recent past and many existing standards are part way through a review period. There are also other international standards which require specific performance, some being required at differing levels of excitation. Please contact us if you require any further performance data.

Rely upon Kemco Technology Ltd to be fully aware of standards guidelines. We will continue to provide industry leading products that offer full compliance.
