When to use: The non-illuminated signs whose message, location, and tactile form are prescribed by the means-of-egress and accessibility provisions of the adopted building code, NFPA 101 where it is in force, and ICC A117.1, in new construction and alterations of commercial, institutional, assembly, educational, healthcare, hospitality, industrial, and multi-family residential buildings. Covers tactile exit signs with raised characters and Braille at exit doors, exit stair doors, exit passageway doors, and exit discharge doors; stairway identification signs and the tactile floor-level signs inside exit stairways, including roof-access and stair re-entry statements; area of refuge identification signs, the instruction signs at two-way communication stations, and directional signs to an accessible means of egress; the elevator emergency-use sign at each call station and the raised floor designations on hoistway jambs; occupant load postings and their holders; NO EXIT signs; the notice sign the code requires at a main exit door secured with a key-operated lock; the fabrication process, plate material, characters, Braille, contrast, and mounting of every raised-character sign in this set; mounting height and location; field verification; warranty; and spares.
− Not intended for: Exit signs of every illumination type, internally illuminated, edge-lit, photoluminescent, and self-luminous, together with luminous egress path markings on treads, landings, handrails, and door frames and the ambient charging illumination both depend on (see [[sync/emergency-and-egress-lighting]]); room and space identification signs, including tactile restroom signs with their pictograms, directional and overhead wayfinding, regulatory and informational panel signs, dimensional letters, and the sign and message schedule for those signs (see [[sync/signage]]); accessible entrance signs, exterior accessible-route markers, and exit discharge signs on the site (see [[sync/exterior-signage]]); panic hardware, fire exit hardware, closers, electrified locking, and the release signage furnished with delayed egress and sensor-released locking (see [[sync/door-hardware]]); audible and visible fire alarm notification appliances (see [[sync/fire-alarm-systems]]); slip-resistant stair nosings (see [[sync/metal-stairs-and-railings]]); pipe markers, duct labels, valve tags, and equipment nameplates (see [[sync/mechanical-identification]] and [[sync/plumbing-piping-identification]]); electrical equipment labels and arc-flash labels (see [[sync/electrical-identification]]); extinguisher identification furnished with the cabinet (see [[sync/fire-extinguishers-and-cabinets]]); sprinkler riser and control-valve signs (see [[sync/common-work-results-fire-suppression]]); the two-way communication system at an area of refuge and the workplace accident-prevention signs of OSHA 29 CFR 1910.145 and ANSI Z535, which no standard in this library covers.
