Restaurants, office buildings, theatres, hotels and hospitality firms, medical, and manufacturing all must comply.

Most regulatory rules concerning tactile and braille signage calls for certain guidelines to be met. They are as follows:
- In some countries, Grade 1 braille is sufficient for the signage used indoors. In the US for example, Grade 2 braille must be used for the tactile or touchable component of the ADA compliant signs. SIGNARAMA has both Grade 1 and Grade 2 braille for your compliant signage.
- Appearance and finish - All braille signs from SIGNARAMA are intended to comply with government regulations and are the correct colors, using matte and non-gloss finishes. High color contrast is also a requirement we are very familiar with at SIGNARAMA. We make sure your braille sign products are all compliant. Some countries require lighting for certain braille signs; allow our experts to walk you through this process of selection and procurement of the products that are right for you.
- All typefonts used on braille signs must be approved. At SIGNARAMA, we know the font regulations, size, and readabilty guidlelines. We adhere to them on your behalf to insure compliance and maximum visibility.
- Pictograms are the graphics allowed on braille ADA etched or engraved signs. They have to be a certain height, and their placement on the sign is also improtant. Our experts make easy work of this on a routine basis!
- Inserts and changeable copy can be present on ADA signs, and braille interpretations for those words need not be included on the sign. We have a wide array of braille sign products and systems that allow for flexibility and still meet the governmental standards.
- Sign Placement - Braille signs for the ADA standard require specific measurement and positioning in a workplace. SIGNARAMA's site survey and installation is right on target with these important components of the ADA law.
