Sylprotec French « Briquet interdit » safety sign

« Briquet interdit » sign in French for controlled areas

Some of our signs are made to order: allow a printing lead time of 10 to 15 business days.

Several materials, sizes and formats are available from the drop-down menu: self-adhesive vinyl, plastic or aluminum, in 6 X 9 in or 8 X 12 in depending on the selection.

The Sylprotec « Briquet interdit » sign, which means "No lighters", helps clearly remind people that a lighter or ignition source must not be used in a controlled area. It is useful where fire prevention, explosion prevention or hazardous behaviour control must be quickly visible to employees, visitors or contractors. The prohibition pictogram helps the message be understood when the instruction needs to be noticed at a glance.

Need something else? This product page keeps the French wording « Briquet interdit », including when you order from this English page, with other languages or versions possible when regulations and site context allow it. UV-protecting lamination, a retroreflective surface or a photoluminescent finish can also be requested depending on the need; these options are not part of the menu selections. For a custom sign, another language, a bilingual version or a specific configuration, contact Sylprotec before ordering to validate the right format and material.

Sizes, materials and features

Applications for the « Briquet interdit » sign in French

The sign is suitable for workshops, warehouses, maintenance areas, technical rooms, workstations and locations where flammable materials, combustible dust or fire prevention rules require special attention. It can also be used in areas where the company wants to limit unauthorized ignition sources and reinforce internal safety rules. In Quebec, the Regulation respecting occupational health and safety governs ignition sources near flammable vapours or gases (section 50) and in the presence of hazardous combustible dust (section 56): check the requirements that apply to your location, because the sign alone provides neither certification nor regulatory compliance.

For other visual reminders, the food (ECI217) sign helps control behaviour in areas where cleanliness or contamination are concerns. The phones (ECI223) sign can be useful where mobile devices are prohibited. The entry (ECI200) sign identifies areas where pedestrian access must be controlled.

Installation and care for vinyl, plastic or aluminum signs

Select the material according to the surface, environment and expected duration of use. Self-adhesive vinyl is suited to clean, smooth and dry surfaces; plastic and aluminum are better when a rigid sign plate is required. Then choose the mounting method according to the material, surface and configuration. The flat sign mounts against its support. L-shaped (90°) and V-shaped (180°) versions have two faces and the double-sided version carries the message on both sides.

Clean the sign gently with a non-abrasive cloth and replace it if the message, pictogram or colour becomes difficult to read.

Suggestions to complete prohibition signage

To complete instructions near risk areas, the smoking (ECI204) sign reminds people that smoking is prohibited where ignition sources must be avoided. The flames (ECI209) sign reinforces the message when open flames are a direct hazard. The personnel (ECI220) sign restricts access to authorized people in sensitive areas. The bilingual vaping (EDEFUM) sign suits entrances and areas where no smoking or vaping rules must be clear. The bilingual cannabis (EDEFUMC) sign adds a broader instruction for environments that also control cannabis use.

For mounting, the installation block (ELPRV) is compatible with the double-sided plastic sign. The 3M 4492W double-coated foam tape (IPT4492) suits light plastic signs, especially L-shaped ones, depending on the surface and load, with no universal compatibility for aluminum or large plates. For a rigid plate outdoors, the 8 ft galvanized U-channel post (EPFP) and the mounting hardware (EPFU) kit complete the setup: check the drilling, hole diameter, hardware and support before installing. Finally, the 5 lb portable ABC powder fire (EXABC5) extinguisher is chosen according to the site's fire assessment and the classes of fire involved; it is not automatically suitable for combustible dust or metals.
