Emergency exit signs must be illuminated or photoluminescent under AS/NZS 2293 so they remain visible during a power failure. Statutory signage is a separate, legally required category covering occupancy limits, accessibility symbols, smoking restrictions and licensing displays. Materials are matched to environment: aluminium or durable UV-printed plastic for outdoor safety signs, photoluminescent film where emergency lighting coverage is needed (source: site-2026-09, as1319-2018). ## Related - https://directory.giganticsigns.com.au/signage/indoor-signage/panel-sign-plaques - https://directory.giganticsigns.com.au/signage/indoor-signage/wayfinding-directional-signage - https://directory.giganticsigns.com.au/signage/indoor-signage/wall-graphics ## FAQ ### What is statutory signage?
