About This Item
TS ISO 23601 addresses the design principles for escape and evacuation plans that present fire safety, escape, evacuation and rescue information for a facility’s occupants. These plans are intended to be displayed as signs in public areas and workplaces, where they can support rapid orientation in an emergency.
What an escape plan sign is meant to do
In general technical terms, an escape or evacuation plan is a visual wayfinding tool. It condenses a building or facility layout into an immediately readable format that highlights exits, escape routes, and related safety information. Unlike a detailed engineering drawing, the emphasis is on clarity, consistent symbol use and quick comprehension by non-specialists under time pressure.
Boundaries of the document
- It is not intended for plans used by external safety services.
- It does not cover detailed professional technical drawings for specialists.
- It is aimed at displayed plans used in public areas and workplaces.
- It may also be useful to intervention forces in an emergency context.
This makes the standard relevant to how evacuation information is presented, not merely to what information exists. The practical issue is visual communication: the plan must be organised so occupants can recognise direction, location and safe egress cues quickly and consistently.
