Introduction to the 100 x 100 mm Call Point Sign (FEX.20G ITM003339)
The 100 x 100 mm Call Point Sign (FEX.20G / ITM003339) is a compact, purpose-designed safety sign for marking manual fire alarm call points (also known as break-glass units). Intended for straightforward, effective identification of fire alarm activation points, this sign is offered in multiple mounting and finish options: rigid PVC for screw-fix installation, self-adhesive vinyl for quick stick-on fixing, and photoluminescent rigid PVC for enhanced visibility in low-light and power-out situations. Designed to align with EN ISO 7010 conventions for fire-alarm symbols, the sign is a practical, low-cost item suited to almost any building where clear, compliant fire-safety signage is required.
- Compact size:100 mm x 100 mm — unobtrusive yet highly visible above or beside call points.
- Material options:Rigid PVC (drill/fix), self-adhesive vinyl (peel-and-stick), and photoluminescent rigid PVC variants.
- Standards alignment:Symbol design follows EN ISO 7010 fire alarm / call point conventions.
- Mounting flexibility:Screw-fix or adhesive options to suit substrates and installation preferences.
- Low cost:Economical for single-site installs or large-scale rollouts (supplier record indicates a cost price of 3.17 and suggested price of 4.29 — please confirm currency and final variant before purchase).

- Visibility:The 100 x 100 mm format is large enough to be seen at the recommended approach distances for call points while remaining compact and unobtrusive on the wall.
- Photoluminescent option:For stairwells, corridors and areas where emergency lighting may fail, photolum variants provide crucial visibility in blackout conditions once charged by ambient light.
- Cost-effectiveness:With a low unit cost and available multi-pack options, the sign is economical for both single-site needs and wider installations across portfolios of buildings.
Use cases and scenarios where this product excels
The 100 x 100 mm Call Point Sign is versatile and performs particularly well in environments where clear signage and quick installation are priorities. Typical use cases include:
- Commercial offices:Easily mounted above or beside call points in office corridors and lobbies, ensuring staff and visitors can locate alarm points quickly.
- Education facilities:Schools, colleges and universities benefit from the standardized symbol and robust materials that stand up to high-traffic environments.
- Healthcare settings:Hospitals and clinics require consistent, durable signage; photoluminescent variants add a layer of redundancy for power outage scenarios.
- Industrial and warehouse sites:Tough rigid PVC variants withstand harsher conditions and can be screw-fixed to secure panels or walls near alarm call points.
- Retail and hospitality:Adhesive versions enable quick installation and reconfiguration during refits or layout changes without invasive drilling.
- Refurbishment and retrofit projects:The adhesive-backed signs are ideal where new fixings are undesirable or where speed is essential.
In each of these contexts the sign’s adherence to EN ISO 7010 conventions helps maintain a consistent safety message across public and private buildings, aiding both occupants and emergency responders.
Comparisons with similar products in the market
When choosing fire-safety signage, the main alternatives to the FEX.20G sign are metal engraved plates, larger format laminated signs, illuminated signs, and bespoke printed options. Here’s how the 100 x 100 mm Call Point Sign compares:
- Rigid PVC vs metal engraved plates:Metal plates are durable and often used in exposed outdoor locations, but they are heavier, more expensive and usually over-specified for indoor call points. Rigid PVC offers a balance of durability, cost and ease of installation indoors.
- Adhesive vinyl vs laminated larger signs:Laminated or larger infill signs may offer additional instruction text but can clutter the space around a call point. Adhesive vinyl is slim, low-profile and preserves the minimal, recognisable iconography recommended by EN ISO 7010.
- Photoluminescent vs illuminated signs:Photoluminescent signs provide passive, power-free glow during outages once charged by ambient light — they’re low-maintenance compared with electrically illuminated units which need wiring, testing and maintenance.
- Cost and scalability:The FEX.20G sign’s low unit price makes it more scalable for large installations compared with many custom or metal options, without compromising on compliance or clarity.
Customer feedback and reviews
There are no specific, attributable customer testimonials provided in the supplier record for ITM003339. However, typical feedback for this style of call point sign (from installers and facilities teams) commonly highlights the following themes:
- Ease of installation:Installers appreciate adhesive-backed versions for rapid retrofits and rigid PVC for secure screw-fix applications.
- Good value:Facilities managers often note the low cost and reliable performance as strong points when procuring signage in bulk.
- Photolum performance:Customers choosing photolum variants report satisfaction when ambient lighting is adequate to "charge" the finish — brightness and duration depend on exposure to light and the photolum specification selected.
If you require confirmed customer testimonials for product marketing or procurement justification, consider requesting case studies or references from the supplier when you specify the final variant (rigid, adhesive or photolum) and confirm the currency and warranty details.
Installation tips and practical advice
- Select the right variant:Use rigid PVC where permanence and robustness are needed; choose adhesive vinyl for quick, non-invasive fitting.
- Placement:Install on a flat surface at the recommended height and immediately above or beside the call point so the sign is unmistakably linked to the device.
- Photolum charging:For glow-in-the-dark signs, ensure they receive adequate ambient light during normal operation to charge the photoluminescent pigment. Confirm manufacturer guidance on charge times and expected glow duration.
- Compliance check:Although the symbol follows EN ISO 7010, always verify local regulations for required placement, spacing and any additional wording or colour requirements.
