Iowa State Compliant EXIT Signs
State Summary:
Iowa will allow either red or green Exit signs, but the Fire Marshal's office recommends red Exit signs. Iowa abides by NFPA Life Safety Codes and also offers a hardship waiver in uniquely difficult circumstances where NFPA standards are unable to be met due to hardship. As always, NFPA Life Safety guidelines are top priority, but contacting your local Fire Marshal will give you the greatest insight into your options and alternatives when purchasing Exit Signs and other life safety equipment.
