This part of BOS 6 specifies requirements for standard ordinary non-reflective symbolic safety signs, including signs applied on mirrors or on vinyl sheets (decals). It also specifies general requirements applicable to self-luminous (radioluminescent), internally illuminated, retro-reflective and photoluminescent symbolic safety signs (complete with their backing sheets, where applicable).

2 Normative references The following standards contain provisions which, through reference in this text, constitute provisions of this part of BOS 6. All standards are subject to revision and, since any reference to a standard is deemed to be a reference to the latest edition of that standard, parties to agreements based on this part of BOS 6 are encouraged to take steps to ensure the use of the most recent edition of the standards indicated below. Information on currently valid national and International Standards can be obtained from the Botswana Bureau of Standards.

5.2 Sequence of testing

Carry out the tests in the order in which they are given.

5.3 Test for chromaticity and luminance factor

Use a spectrophotometer or another suitable colour measuring device, and the method given in CIE publication 15 (E-1.3.1) and in CIE publication 54 to determine the chromaticity co-ordinates and the luminance factor of the sample (using standard illuminant D 65 and 45/0 geometry), and check for compliance with 4.6.2.

BOS 6-1:1999

11

5.4 Resistance to immersion in water

Immerse each sign for a period of 24 hours in distilled water at a temperature of 25 oC ± 2 oC. Examine the sign for compliance with 4.9.1 (a) and (b).

5.5 Resistance to artificial weathering

5.5.1 Test specimen

From each sign used in the test given in 5.3, cut a test specimen, of size approximately 150 mm x 70 mm or 100 mm x 70 mm, as to include as much of each colour on the sign as practicable and as many of the edges and holes as possible. Except in the case of plastics signs, seal all the cut edges of each specimen.

5.5.2 Procedure

Use the apparatus and procedure given in SABS method 182 and expose the specimen (s) to artificial weathering. After 1 000 h, examine the specimen (s) for compliance with 4.9.2 (a) (1) and 4.9.2 (b) and test each colour on the specimen(s) for compliance with 4.9.2. (a) (2).

5.6 Adhesion of decals

5.6.1 Equipment

5.6.1.1 Oven

It should be maintained at 70 oC ± 2 oC

5.6.1.2 Two test panels

These should be (as relevant) of size 50 mm x 150 mm.

5.6.1.3 Flat metal panels

These of size at least 100 mm x 150 mm and of mass 225 g.

5.6.1.4 Two mass-pieces : each with a mass of 750 g.

5.6.2 Procedure

a) Cut two test pieces each of size 50 mm x 150 mm from the decal and place them side by side in the oven and cover them with the metal sheet. After 4 hours, remove the test pieces from the oven and condition them for 24 hours at a temperature of 25 oC ± 2 oC. Then cut one specimen of size 25 mm x 150 mm from each test piece (retain remainder of each test piece), remove the liner by hand without the use of water or other solvent (s), and examine the liner and the decal for compliance with 4.9.3 (a).

b) Apply 75 mm of one end of each of the retained remainders of the test pieces to a test panel and condition them for 24 hours at a temperature of 25 oC ±2 oC. Suspend the panels in a horizontal position with the specimens facings downward. Attach a 750 g mass-piece to the free end of each specimen and allow them to hand free at right angles to the surface of the panels for 5 minutes. At the end of the 5 minutes period, measure the distance of peeling and check for compliance with 4.9.3 (b).

6 Packing and marking

6.1 Packing

Only signs of the same type designation, material and size shall be packed together. The front of each sign shall be covered with a suitable material and the signs shall be so packed as to ensure that they are not damaged during normal handling, transportation and storage.
