Materials

Choosing a size
Labels on DB boards and equipment are read close up, so small formats are fine provided the symbol and key words stay legible. Doors to electrical rooms suit A5 or A4 at eye level, while perimeter fences around high-voltage equipment need larger signs spaced along the fence so one is always visible from any approach.
Standards and compliance
Electrical warning signs commonly use the SANS 1186 warning format with the lightning flash symbol. Electrical installations in South Africa are governed by the Electrical Installation Regulations under the OHS Act, and the wiring code SANS 10142 is the reference used by electricians; your registered electrician can confirm which labels an installation needs. The customer remains responsible for compliance; we print to the artwork or specification supplied or agreed.
