Escape route installation systems ensure that escape routes remain usable.

Approximately 95% of all deaths during fires are caused by smoke poisoning. If there is a fire, the emergency and escape routes are the central lifeline and must be usable under any circumstances.

Central topic: fire loads
Any installation in the area of emergency and escape routes must not pose any additional fire load. This requirement must be fulfilled with the following installation types:

• Concealed installation
• Installation in fire protection duct systems
• Installation above suspended fire protection ceilings
• Open routing of bandaged cable support systems
