The National Electrical
Manufacturers Association (NEMA) Emergency Lighting Section launched its Premium
Exit Sign Program which establishes standards for and
encourages the use of high-performance exit signage with
restrictions on energy consumption. Previously, the only standard used
for exit signs was that of the ENERGY STAR program
which was based solely on energy efficiency and then was terminated after
federal mandatory minimum efficiency requirements were
established. The NEMA Premium Exit Sign Program is now
a single identifier for both life safety performance
and energy savings.
The NEMA Premium Exit Sign Program provides the method
for identifying efficient and effective models that are
consistent with NEMA performance standards and tested in
accordance with applicable UL and CSA Standards.
Participating products eligible for the NEMA Premium Exit Sign
Program are those which illuminate an integral
legally required legend that meet NEMA’s more stringent ‘EM-1 Standard
for Premium Exit Signs’. These signs are for
installation in accordance with the National Electrical Code
(ANSI/NFPA 70) and the Life Safety Code
(ANSI/NFPA 101), including exit signs intended for use near the floor.
Qualified products of this program bear a
special mark that will help lighting professionals and end users
recognize the market’s highest performing and safest
exit signage products on the market and will help support energy
efficient objectives.
