Product Category: IBC Path Marking
After passing a law mandating the installation of photoluminescent markings, NYC Department of Buildings asked one manufacturer to sit on its task force that determined the content and requirements of its new Reference Standard 6-1. That manufacturer was Jalite. The current IBC Code requirements for Photoluminescent markings in high-rise buildings are in large part taken from the NYC Reference Standard 6-1 (RS6-1).
So you can be assured that Jalite products meet the code, because we helped write the code.
