Overview
Wet location exit signs are suitable in most outdoor locations, but there is always the remote possibility of a small factory defect such as a gasket fissure, that could jeopardize these signs in extreme weather. To insure your investment as well as appease the building inspector, have your location sign NEMA certified.
NEMA does not test these units, but instead lays out the testing guidelines in their NEMA 250 standards manual. The exit sign manufacturer will either conduct these tests or send the unit to a licensed third-party facility. Only after it has passed a number of harsh weather simulations, including a 200 hour salt spray down, can an fixture earn the title 'NEMA 4X exit sign.'
