Additional exit sign to non-required exit prohibited?

[steveray]

I did not say it could not. But when it comes to accessibility, if it is a new or complete change of occupancy and the nonrequired second exit is not an accessible egress and it has an exit sign you would need a directional sign to the accessible exit or just take the exit sign(s) off.

You do nothing for accessible egress in a change of occupancy...

 

[Mr. Inspector]

The IEBC 305.4.2 A complete change of occupancy has under #3: Signage comping with section 1111 if the IBC is required. This section requires directional signs to accessible exits. This section is not under accessible egress.

Where does you code say that exit signs pointing to accessible means of egress have to be different from exit signs pointing toward non-accessible means of egress?

Hint: IBC 1112.3

Goes away in 2021....And I would argue it is almost never a complete change of occupancy.....

We might be looking at different code years. There is no section 1112 in the 2018 IBC. 2018 IBC only has directional signage in 1111.2 "Directional Signage". It does not require any directional signs to anything non-accessible.
