What Signage/Identification is Required Within a Building?
Q: What signage/identification is required within a building? Where can I find more information on this topic?
A: That’s a pretty broad question. I assume you are talking about a commercial or industrial building where the public has access. The most important signs are for the exits for emergency egress. Also if there are restrooms in the building, it is imperitive that they be handicapped accessible toilet rooms and have signs to indicate this. The ICC International Code Council publishes the IBC International Building Code and there is a section on signs. Of course, local jurisdictions may have additonal requirements. Always check with the Building Department to be sure you have included all the signs that are required.
