本标准涵盖适用规范要求安装的发光和自发光出口标志和出口（出口）路径标记系统的要求。值得注意的是，2010年版的加拿大国家建筑规范（NBC）将有一项新的要求，要求使用象形图（例如，“奔跑的人”和方向箭头），而不是基于语言的单词“出口”，作为出口的通用标志。这符合国际标准化组织（ISO）的标准，现在已经成为一种普遍接受的、独立于语言的“退出”符号为确保本产品的性能，NBC将要求所有发光出口标志必须符合CAN/ULC- S572-10。

This Standard covers requirements for photoluminexcent and self-luminous exit signs and egress (exit) path marking systems intended for installation as required by applicable codes. It is worth noting that the 2010 edition of the National BUilding Code (NBC) of Canada will have a new requirement that mandates the use of pictograms (e.g., "running man" and directional arrows) instead of the language based word, "Exit" as the universal sign for egress. This is in conformance to ISO standards and what is now becoming a universally accepted, language independent symbol for "Exit." TO ensure the performance of this product, the NBC will require that all photoluminescent exit signs need to meet CAN/ULC-S572-10.
