This publication reflects BSGA’s commitment to developing and promoting clear, robust, and implementable best practice and guidance within the Sign and Graphics industry in the UK.

Best practices are important for processes that you need to work correctly. They are simply the best way
to do things and are found to be the most sensible way to proceed and to help you avoid falling foul of regulations and legislation. Using these guides will demonstrate to your clients and customers, as well as your staff, suppliers and contractors, that you are acting in good faith and in a manner that is professional and competent. This guidance covers requirements for the design, project management,
manufacture, installation, inspection and maintenance of signs excluding luminaries, road traffic, fire, safety, track-side railway or air-side airport signs. It is not designed to replace the current British Standard and Specification for the design and construction of signs for publicity, decorative and general purposes (BS559) but more to run alongside that document and support its values.

Thermal stress to glass and the application of vinyl graphics
Glass does not just break. It breaks for a reason. The application of vinyl graphics to windows and glass has been staple product for sign and graphics suppliers over the past few years. The number of installations has also increased and the style of graphics and demand has changed considerably.
Sign and graphics companies should be aware of thermal stress and that vinyl graphics including solar control films, applied to glass may contribute or can be the cause of fractures appearing in the glass.
