Hydraulic Sprinkler System ID Plate - Safety Signs by Caledonia Signs

A crucial fire safety sign used to identify and provide essential information about a building’s hydraulic sprinkler system. This sign typically displays details such as the system type, pressure rating, installation date, maintenance schedule, and design capacity, serving as a reference for maintenance personnel, safety inspectors, and emergency responders. Accurate system identification ensures that the sprinkler system is properly maintained, tested, and operated during a fire emergency.

Using this sign helps ensure compliance with fire safety regulations and standards, such as BS EN 12845 (Automatic Sprinkler Systems – Design, Installation, and Maintenance). It provides essential information needed for inspections, maintenance, and troubleshooting, helping to prevent system failure and ensuring that emergency responders can quickly understand the system’s specifications and limitations.

Placement of the sign is critical for effectiveness. It should be installed directly on or adjacent to the main control valve, pump room, or hydraulic system equipment, at eye level, and in a location that is free from obstructions. The sign must be easily visible to maintenance personnel, inspectors, and emergency responders to provide quick access to essential system information. Durable, weather-resistant, or laminated materials are recommended for long-term visibility and readability, especially in industrial or exposed environments.

Additionally, displaying a Hydraulic Sprinkler System ID Plate sign promotes a culture of fire safety and accountability. It ensures personnel have access to accurate system information, supports compliance with maintenance and inspection schedules, and reinforces the organisation’s commitment to maintaining a reliable fire protection system, ultimately safeguarding lives and property in the event of a fire.
