AED signs
11 products
When someone suffers sudden cardiac arrest, the people nearby have minutes to find and use the automated external defibrillator. AED signs exist for exactly that moment: marking the device's location so a stranger under stress can spot it from across a room, down a corridor or through a crowd.

AED Signs That Make Defibrillators Findable in Seconds
The ISO AED Symbol and the NFPA Red Heart: Two Standardized Designs
- The green ISO sign uses the AED symbol standardized as E010 in ISO 7010: a white heart with a lightning bolt on a safety green square, the international safe condition color
- The red heart sign follows the emergency symbol conventions of NFPA 170, the Standard for Fire Safety and Emergency Symbols, common in North American buildings
Both designs identify the same device; consistency within your facility matters more than which you choose. Placement follows the same logic as fire equipment signage: mount signs above the AED cabinet with clear sightlines, and add directional signs where the device serves large or divided areas. AED signs belong to your broader emergency wayfinding system alongside emergency signs and safety equipment location signs.

Frequently Asked Questions About AED Signs
What does an AED sign look like?
The international AED sign shows a white heart with a lightning bolt on a green square, standardized as symbol E010 in ISO 7010. A red heart version following NFPA 170 emergency symbol conventions is also common in North America.
Are AED signs required?
Requirements come from state AED laws, building codes and facility policies rather than a single federal rule, and they vary by location and occupancy type. Wherever an AED is installed, clear location signage is the recognized best practice, since the device only saves lives if it can be found quickly.
