With recent developments in Codes and Standards for Photoluminescent Safety Products and in line with the recognized industry development it is now considered necessary to extend the PSPA material classification systems as follows:


Luminance mcd/m2 2 mins 10 mins 30 mins 60 mins
Class A 108 25 7 3
Class B 210 50 15 7
Class C 690 140 45 20
Class D 1100 260 85 35
Class E 1800 400 120 55
Class F 2300 520 155 70
Class G 3000 650 190 80

The PSPA classification system is based on luminance decay data as given when tested according to ISO 17398 (also ISO 16069) illuminated with 1000 lux from Xenon D75 (Daylight) source for 5 minutes (very similar to DIN 67510 Part 1 and ASTM E 2073-10 also with this illumination and time.
