Description / Abstract:
This standards publication contains performance requirements and
test methods for evaluating exit sign visibility. Visibility
requirements are based on an assumed normal visual acuity and
normal color recognition in clear air at a maximum viewing distance
of 30.5 m (100 ft). This scope does not imply that exit signs
conforming to the requirements of this standard will be visible to
all people under all environmental conditions.
This standards publication contains energy-efficiency
requirements and test methods for evaluating exit sign performance
in order to declare a NEMA Premium rating.
These requirements apply to exit signs that illuminate an
integral legally required legend for installation in accordance
with the National Electrical Code (ANSI/NFPA 70) and the
Life Safety Code (ANSI/NFPA 101), including exit signs
intended for use near the floor.
