Exit Signs by State - Comply with Your State and Local Regulation
There is often confusion over which colors are allowed when choosing an Exit sign for your building. Exit sign requirements vary by state and municipality, which is why it's important to check with your Fire Marshall to see whether Green Exit Signs
or Red Exit Signs are required in your building. The information below is for general guidance, only. For many, however, it is also important to get a “sense” of any color preference – so that your building is as consistent as possible with others in your area. Even though the European Union generally uses Green
Exit Signs (Red is used to specify prohibited actions), our UL 924 standards allow either Green Exit signs or Red Exit signs. Yet, localized codes often specify one or the
other.
New Jersey State Compliant EXIT Signs
State Summary
Life safety became a major issue in New Jersey when in 1984, eight people died as a result of a poorly lit egress path in a popular haunted house. This affected much more than New Jersey Exit Sign Fire Safety Code, but radically changed the way egress paths and Exit signs and lighting are governed. In addition to spearheading revolutionary Life Safety Codes, New Jersey has also led the way in environmental protection by outlawing the use of Tritium Exit Signs in any new establishment.
