ADAAG Manual

Identification [4.3.11.5]

The "AREA OF RESCUE ASSISTANCE" label and access symbol must be illuminated where fire or life safety codes require illuminated exit signs. This label, as well as directional signage at inaccessible exits and instructions on using the space, are subject to requirements for character proportion (4.30.2) and height (4.30.3) and sign finish and contrast (4.30.5). Requirements for tactile (raised and Braille) signage apply to exits and other designations of "permanent rooms and spaces." These requirements address raised and Braille characters (4.30.4), finish and contrast (4.30.5), and mounting location and height (4.30.6).
