How to use

1. Position signs approximately 1700 mm above deck for normal direction marking, and not more than 300 mm above deck for low-location lighting (LLL) systems
2. At doors or hatches, mount above the door where possible so the sign stays visible when the door or hatch is open
3. Mark every change of direction with the appropriate sign
4. Space signs in alleys and corridors no further apart than the sign's maximum viewing distance
5. In public or communal areas, keep an ‘Exit’ sign within a 360° field of view
6. Make sure the route leads to a muster/assembly station or embarkation station identified by the appropriate sign

Regulations

SOLAS 1974 Chapter III Regulation 11.5, Chapter II-2 Regulation 13.1.3 and Regulation 13.3.2.5.1 require all escape routes to be marked with photoluminescent signs, signs illuminated by emergency light, or both. The IMO poster Life Saving Appliances Symbols (2006 Edition) indicates that exit signs should comprise a ‘running man’ pictogram, an arrow and the word ‘Exit’. Primary escape routes use ‘Exit’ signs; secondary routes use ‘Exit for emergency use only’ with broken-lined arrows.
