Fire Escape Signs – The British Standard BS 5499-4 Code of Practice for escape route signs

1. Fire Exit and Exit signs should be, so far as reasonably practicable, evenly spread and consistently located at the same height so that the evacuee can quickly and effectively predict the location of the next sign within the escape route.
2. Signs should not be fixed to doors or sited where they may be obscured by open doors.
3. Signs sited on walls should be mounted between 1.7m and 2.0m from floor level measured from the base of the sign.
