I'm helping a client and having his egress signs made for him, architect is on a long vacation (read: prison). Three storey R-2 (renovated factory) with two interior stairs, elevator, garage in basement.
I'm pretty clear with 101's mounting locations, character heights, stroke width, etc., but I'm not sure about the Braille requirement for these. I told him I was pretty sure it was required as we've adopted ADA a long time ago and most signs I see in client's buildings have the dots. Specifically; On the 7.2.2.5.4 Stairway Marking, ICC/ANSI A117.1 shows the Braille below the floor designation number. What does this Braille have to say? Just "Floor 1"? Does it also have to say "Basement to Third Floor", "No Roof Access", "Down to First Floor for Exit Discharge"? I'm thinking all that should appear, whether or not required.
