Title
Standard Guide for Evacuation Route Diagrams
ASTM International
Publication Date:
Nov 10, 2002
Scope:
This standard is intended to provide minimum guidelines for the design
and placement of evacuation
route diagrams (ERDs) used in buildings. It covers the evacuation of
building occupants when
directed by emergency response authorities in emergencies such as
fire, windstorm, earthquake,
hazardous materials release, and other events anticipated in the
geographic area of the facility.
NOTE 1 - Evacuation from the facility is not appropriate in all
emergencies. For example, a tornado
may require sheltering within the building. This diagram standard is
intended to be used in
conjunction with a facility emergency plan and instructions on
appropriate actions from building
management, or emergency response authorities, or both.
Keywords:
