Fire exit signs, also known as fire escape signs, must be visible even when the power supply fails. Illuminated fire escape signs and fire exit signs fulfil this requirement, as a battery kicks in when there is a power outage. With a minimum backup duration between 1 and 3 hours to allow the safe evacuation of the premises. Fire escape signs and fire exit signs are charged when the mains supply is active, therefore when it fails the signs switch to the battery backup.
