Size of refuge signs

[Guest David Ray]

Hi

What height do the 'Refuge Keep Clear' signs have to be. I know the  EVC system is 900 to 1200 form FFL but not sure of sign height.

BS 5499 part 4 says the mounting height of escape route signs, it could be argued that Refuge Keep Clear meet that criteria, should be 1.7m to 2m on walls and 2m to 2.5m above doors or open spaces, so they are clearly visible above the heads of people. I cannot see any reason why those figures cannot be used in this case.
