PSA and ULC Work to Change Canadian NBC

The PSA has begun working with FCS Consultants (a code consultant in Canada) to propose language in the National Building Code (NBC) of Canada requiring the use of Luminous Egress Path Markings in the exit stairs of high rise commercial buildings. Underwriters Laboratories of Canada (ULC) has already published standards to support the use of Luminous Egress Path Markings in ULC-S590 and in ULC-S572. ULC has also proposed similar language for the NBC.
