New York City's 3 RCNY §505-01 and 3 RCNY §505-02 detail essential signage and markings regulations.
New York City Fire Department regulations, specifically 3 RCNY §505-01 and §505-02, outline stringent requirements for apartment, guest room, directional, and stairwell fire emergency markings. These regulations aim to ensure swift and accurate response during emergencies by providing clear identification and guidance for both emergency response teams and firefighters in locating dwelling units and stairwells within buildings.
Rule 3 RCNY §505-01 sets forth standards for the design and installation of directional signs in various areas such as apartments, guest rooms, sleeping rooms, lobbies, and hallway corridors. On the other hand, Rule 3 RCNY §505-02 specifies standards for entrance door fire emergency markings in these spaces, including apartments, guest rooms, sleeping rooms, and stairwell doors.
These regulations are applicable to Group R-1 and R-2 buildings, encompassing a wide range of structures including transient lodging establishments like hotels, motels, and boarding houses, as well as non-transient accommodations such as apartment houses, dormitories, and fraternity/sorority houses.
To ensure compliance with these regulations, Everlux offers signage solutions crafted from photoluminescent-coated thin aluminum.
