Door Hardware Marking Requirements

The 2024 International Building Code Section 1025 requires luminous egress path markings in certain high-rise occupancies. Section 1025.2.6.2 requires at least 16 square inches of luminous material behind, immediately adjacent to, or on the door handle or escutcheon. Where panic hardware is used, luminous material must be at least 1 inch wide and extend along the entire actuating bar or touchpad.

NFPA 101 Life Safety Code also uses the term door hardware marking for luminous markings used on doors serving qualifying exit enclosures. Always confirm the locally adopted building and life-safety codes before specifying a marking for a particular door.
