ADA Braille Sign Requirements and Compliance Information
ADA braille sign requirements help ensure that interior building signs are accessible, easy to identify and properly installed for people with visual impairments. Tactile signs with raised characters and Grade 2 braille are commonly required for permanent rooms and spaces, including restrooms, offices, conference rooms, exits, stairwells, elevators and other interior areas where accessible identification is needed. Understanding ADA signage requirements can help building owners, contractors, architects, facility managers and business owners choose the correct braille signs for their location. Important factors may include tactile lettering, braille placement, non-glare sign surfaces, high contrast colors, proper mounting height and correct sign placement on the latch side of the door.
