Regulatory requirements for EXIT signs
Manufacturers of tritium EXIT signs are “specific licensees,” meaning they are licensed by the NRC or an Agreement State. The signs are considered “generally licensed devices,” because they are inherently safe enough to be handled or used by anyone with no radiation training or experience. Although purchasers – known as “general licensees” – do not need authorization from the NRC or a state regulatory agency to possess the signs, they are subject to certain regulatory requirements regarding handling, transfer or disposal of the signs. For more information, see the NRC website
Under NRC regulations, a general licensee using tritium EXIT signs:
•must NOT remove the labeling or radioactive symbol, or abandon a sign;
•must properly dispose of an unused sign (see below);
•must report to the NRC or the appropriate Agreement State any lost, stolen or broken signs;
•must inform the NRC or an Agreement State of a name change, change of address or replacement of a general licensee’s designated representative;
•must NOT give away or sell the sign to another individual, company or institution unless the device is to remain in use at its original intended location; in such a case, the transferor is to notify the recipient of the regulatory requirements and must notify the NRC or Agreement State of the transfer within 30 days.
Tritium EXIT signs must NOT be disposed of as normal trash. To dispose of a sign properly, a general licensee must transfer the sign to a specific licensee. This would typically be a manufacturer, distributor, licensed radioactive waste broker, or a licensed
Within 30 days of disposing of a sign, the general licensee is required to file a report to the NRC or Agreement State that includes:
