BC Update: No.65 - New F6 Compliance Document published

23 July 2007: The Department of Building and Housing has published a new Compliance Document for Building Code Clause F6 (formerly Lighting for Emergency, now Visibility in Escape Routes).

The new Compliance Document reflects the changes made recently to Clause F6. The Clause now allows the use of way-finding systems, such as photoluminescent strips, directional markings and light emitting diode strips, as well as normal emergency lights.

The new Compliance Document comes into effect on 18 October 2007. It can be found on the Department’s website.
