IMO Fire Control Symbols

IMO Fire Control Symbols are standardized graphical representations used on ships to identify the location, type, and use of fire-fighting equipment and emergency systems. These symbols are governed by the International Maritime Organization (IMO) and are based on the following resolutions and standards:

  • IMO Resolution A.1116(30) – Escape route signs and equipment location markings
  • IMO Resolution A.952(23) – Graphical symbols for fire control plans
  • ISO 24409-2:2014 – Shipboard safety signage and photoluminescent signs
  • SOLAS Chapter II-2 / Regulation 15 – Fire control plans and symbols
  • MSC.1/Circ.1456 – Guidelines for fire protection symbols on ships

These standards ensure uniformity and comprehension across all vessels, regardless of language barriers or crew nationality. All our IMO signs meet the photoluminescent and size requirements as specified for fire control plans and onboard equipment labeling.
