NY State Requirements for Exit Light Signs

New York State has very specific requirements for the installation of exit signs on commercial and public properties. The New York City Administrative Code Section BC 1013 outlines these requirements in detail. It states that exits and access doors must be marked with an approved exit sign that is visible from any direction of travel, and that any exit paths should be marked by signs that indicate the direction of egress. Other requirements include:

Exit signs must be placed so that no point is more than 100 feet from a visible sign.
The word EXIT must appear in red, 8-inch-tall letters with a 1-inch stroke on a white, translucent, or aluminum sign.
Lighted exit signs must have a reliable light source that meets UL 924 standards.
Emergency lighting systems must provide at least 1.5 hours of backup power to lighted exit signs.
Exit signs must be internally or externally illuminated.
Tactile exit signs for blind or visually impaired people do not need to be illuminated.

Importance of Complying with Exit Sign Lighting Laws

It is crucial for your company, property or building management company, or other facility managers to comply with the state’s exit sign lighting laws. Non-compliance can result in legal and financial liability, damage to your reputation, fines and fees, and even arrest. Compliance maintains safety during emergencies, fire drills, and power failures. Visible, lighted exit signs improve comfort and peace of mind and enhance tenant, employee, and visitor satisfaction. Other benefits of exit sign installation include:

Marks efficient, clear pathways for evacuation
Reduces risk of panic, stampedes, disorder, or injuries
Provides support for emergency responders and facility management personnel
Assist the elderly, visually impaired, and children in finding a safe exit
Ensures compliance with OSHA, the National Fire Protection Association, the International Building Code Association, and the New York City Administrative Code
