Fire safety plan software

Yes. The full editor (walls, ISO 7010 pictograms, every tool) is free, with no credit card and no time limit: 1 plan in storage, on-screen preview with a Fabrik watermark, no download. To deliver, pay €19.99 once for unlimited exports of one building, or subscribe for €49.99/month (unlimited buildings).

Fabrik includes 250+ pictograms, including the official ISO 7010 signs, and builds in the requirements of NF X08-070 (safety plans) and ISO 23601 (evacuation plans). Before each export, an automatic check covers exits, indicative distances, door widths and sign sizes. PDF exports are ready to present to your safety commission, which alone decides on approval; final compliance remains the responsibility of the building operator.

Yes, Fabrik is particularly well suited for 5th category ERPs (fewer than 300 people). The software directly incorporates the specific requirements: simplified evacuation plan, fire safety instructions, mandatory display.

Yes, Fabrik covers all 16 ERP types: type M (stores), N (restaurants), O (hotels), L (theaters), R (schools), W (offices), U (healthcare), etc. Pre-configured templates are available for each type.

AutoCAD is a general-purpose CAD software that requires several weeks of training and costs $250+/month. Fabrik is a specialized evacuation plan software: no training required, natively ISO 7010 compliant, with plan import as a background layer and line-level tracing tools (automatic snapping). A plan takes just a few minutes to create versus 3 to 5 hours on AutoCAD.

Yes, once the export is paid for. The free plan is for testing the editor: you preview your plan on screen (with a Fabrik watermark), no download. To export the high-resolution PDF (up to 300 dpi, A4 to A0) without watermark — ready for printing or the safety commission — pay €19.99 once for the building, or subscribe.

With Fabrik's plan import and line-level tracing tools, expect under 15 minutes for a complete plan of a 5th category ERP. For more complex buildings (multiple floors, multi-buildings), expect 30 to 60 minutes.

Fabrik is a 100% web application: it works on all recent browsers (Chrome, Firefox, Safari, Edge) on Mac, Windows or Linux. A tablet version is available for viewing. Editing is optimized for desktop.

Yes, with the subscription: invite colleagues with a role (administrator, editor or viewer). Plans are shared within the team, with version history so you can restore a previous version.

The Fabrik team updates the pictogram library and templates as the standards evolve. Your existing plans remain editable so you can apply these changes.

Article R4227-38 of the French Labour Code requires every establishment employing more than 5 people to set up an evacuation and intervention plan, posted on every floor and near access points. Article R4227-37 also makes posting the general fire safety instructions mandatory. Failure to comply is sanctionable by labour inspection and can lead to criminal liability of the head of establishment in the event of an accident. Fabrik produces all of these deliverables (ISO 23601 / NF X08-070 compliant evacuation plan, firefighter intervention plan, general instructions) in a single environment.

ISO 23601 is the international standard that defines the graphic design of evacuation plans for the public (symbols, scale, 'You are here' marker). NF X08-070 is the French standard detailing the presentation rules for fire safety plans (evacuation + intervention) and specifies the ISO 7010 colours and pictograms to be used. APSAD R4 is a CNPP reference that governs the location and maintenance of portable fire extinguishers — it is the basis for correctly placing extinguisher pictograms on the intervention plan. Fabrik natively integrates these three references.
