Standards for emergency Exit Signage:

The National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) developed standards for emergency exit signs. These local codes, along with workplace standards from the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA), govern the use of today’s exit signs and lights.

In chapters 11 through 43, Life Safety Code details a range of requirements pertaining to most types of buildings. Day-cares, hospitals, prisons, hotels, and industrial buildings each have their own place in the code. When those chapters require emergency lighting or exit signs, they follow the guidelines set in NFPA 101, Chapter 7: Means of Egress.

OSHA and the NFPA have the same brightness requirements for externally illuminated signs. However, NFPA 101 goes into greater depth on internally illuminated signs and lighting during a power failure.
