edge of the glazing is within a 24 inch arc of either vertical edge of the door in a closed position and where
the bottom exposed edge of the glazing is less than 60 inches above the walking surface is requires safety
glazing materials. Note on SheetA4.0 indicates all glass to be tempered. Verify thatglass adjacent to
doors complies with these requirements.
• NEC 110.26 Spaces About Electrical Equipment. Sufficient access and working space shall be
provided and maintained about all electric equipment to permit ready and safe operation and maintenance
of such equipment. Verify that the appropriate clearances required by this section are being maintained
• Comm 61.31(4) Revisions to approved plans. All proposed revisions and modifications which involve
rules under this code and which are made to construction documents that have previously been granted
approval by the department or its authorized representative, shall be submitted to the office that granted the
approval. All revisions and modifications to plans shall be approved in writing by the department or its
authorized representative prior to the work involved in the revision or modification being carried out. A
revision or modification to a plan, drawing or specification shall be signed and sealed in accordance with
Comm 61.31(1). ',
SUBMIT:
• IMC 403.3.4 Balancing. Ventilation systems shall be balanced by an approved method. Such
balancing shall verify that the ventilation system is capable of supplying the airflow rates required by

Emergency Illumination Plan Submittal Policy
', June 6, 2007
Policy !~
The Division of Inspection Services requl~ires an Emergency Illumination Plan to be submitted and approved
prior to the Rough Electrical or Rough Building Inspection. This plan must demonstrate compliance with the
Emergency Illumination requirements identified in sections 1006.3 (formerly 1003.2.11.2) and 1006.4
(formerly 1003.2.11.3) of the International Building Code. This plan must provide the following information:
I
1. Identify all areas requiring Emergency Illumination per the criteria spelled out in section IBC 1006.2
(formerly 1003.2.11.2.)
2. Identify the make, model and location of the Emergency Luminaries/Fixtures being provided.
3. Indicate the amount of Emergency Illumination being provided for areas required in item 1 above in a
point to point manner to demonstrate that the Emergency Illumination System required by IBC section
1006.4 (formerly 1003.2.11.3) will perform as required by this section, including compliance with the
maximum-to-minimum illumination uniformity ratio of 40:1 requirement.
4. If the Building Plans were required to be signed and sealed by a Wisconsin Registered Architect or
Engineer, this Emergency Illumination plan is also required to be reviewed, signed and sealed by the
same as this is a Building Code requirement.
Reason
The State of Wisconsin adopted the International Building Code on July 1, 2002. This code included
significant changes to the Emergency Illumination requirements by establishing minimum performance
requirements measured in foot-candles. This standard gives broad flexibility in designing an Emergency
Illumination System.
This Division has found the majority of Emergency Illumination systems are installed significantly deficient
of the minimum Emergency Illulnination'requirements. The lack of a formal Emergency Illumination plan is
resulting in confusion, project delays; additional costs and significant alterations being made in order to
comply with the code. As a result this office has determined the most effective way to readily achieve
compliance and reduce such confusion, delays, alterations and costs, is to require plans to be submitted
demonstrating compliance with the Emergency Illumination Standards. Requiring this plan will promote pre-
installation planning and design.
Similar to submitting Building or HVAC (plans for review and approval prior to installation, this process
promotes development of a compliant design prior to installation, thus minimizing costs associated with non-
compliant installations or applications. Additionally, this process may promote more cost efficient designs
for Emergency Illumination systems. I
