New Requirements For Phosphorescent Labels and Marking

A new white paper from Graphic Products describes new building codes that went into effect January 1st. Based on the results of studies of the evacuation of the World Center, marking of stairways and exit paths with phosphorescent tape is now required. This includes marking of stair steps, handrails and placing phosphorescent signs within 18 inches of the floor.

The white paper provides an introduction to phosphorescent supplies, and then covers the new NFPA 101 code, as well as discussing municipal codes that are requiring photoluminescent markings.
