IMO Number 5 Equipment Sign – FS0039

This number 5 equipment sign displays the numeral “5” in the same red and photoluminescent style used across a vessel’s fire safety signage, allowing individual pieces of firefighting equipment, such as extinguishers, hose stations, or hydrants, to be uniquely numbered for identification and record-keeping. Numbering equipment this way lets crew and surveyors refer to a specific unit precisely rather than by general location alone.

Consistent equipment numbering supports maintenance schedules, inspection logs, and fire control plans, since each numbered extinguisher or hose station can be tracked individually through its service history. This number 5 equipment sign marks the fifth unit in a numbered sequence, fitting between the number 4 and number 6 equipment signs on a vessel with multiple pieces of equipment in one area.

Where this number 5 equipment sign is used

This number 5 equipment sign is fitted beside or below fire extinguishers, hose reels, hydrants, and other firefighting equipment wherever a vessel’s fire control plan uses sequential numbering to identify individual units. It works alongside the equipment’s main pictogram sign, adding the specific number that ties the physical unit to its entry on the fire control plan and maintenance log.

Installing this number 5 equipment sign is straightforward: apply using the sign’s adhesive backing or fixings directly beside the relevant piece of equipment, keeping the numbering sequence consistent with the vessel’s fire control plan. Crew carrying out inspections should confirm that every number 5 equipment sign and its numbered counterparts are legible and correctly matched to the plan.

Regulatory context

Fire control plans and the equipment they reference are required under SOLAS Chapter II-2, and consistent numbering of firefighting equipment supports accurate record-keeping and rapid identification during surveys and emergencies. Surveyors reviewing fire safety equipment during inspections check that numbered signage, including this number 5 equipment sign, correctly corresponds to the equipment shown on the fire control plan.

Maintaining accurate, legible equipment numbering across a vessel helps ensure that maintenance records, fire control plans, and physical equipment all align, supporting both regulatory compliance and effective emergency response.
