QUICK CHECKS

Fire doors & notices

Match the door: A self-closing door notice tells people not to obstruct it or keep it propped open. A door held open by an automatic device needs different wording. Confirm the fire/smoke door type and exact wording on the approved door schedule.
Position & faces: Fit on or adjacent to the applicable door, visible on the required approach. Horizontal exits, two-way smoke doors and final discharge doors require the specified notices on both faces. For applicable automatically held-open doors, use the adjacent wall or both door faces as required.
Lettering & fixing: Where NCC D3D28 applies, use contrasting capitals at least 20 mm high. Confirm exact wording and faces; use the approved door-assembly fixing detail and keep hardware and seals clear.

NSW fire-exit offence notices

This separate NSW-only notice follows section 108 of the Environmental Planning and Assessment (Development Certification and Fire Safety) Regulation 2021. Fit prominently beside access doorways, outside the fire-isolated stairway, passageway or ramp. Do not substitute it for another state’s notice.

Sources & project checks

NCC notes retain the existing NCC 2022 references. Use the code edition, jurisdiction and approved sign schedule for your project.

Quick checks support your approved project specification; they do not certify a sign or installation.
