3.1 General

  3.1.1 Assembly stations should be readily identifiable and their purpose made known. The routes to the assembly stations should be clearly marked. It is also important that normal and emergency exits from enclosed spaces are clearly indicated. In English, the term “assembly station" instead of the more obscure “muster station" should be used to describe the places where passengers should go when the alarm is raised.

  3.1.2 All signs should comply with resolution A760(18) reproduced in the IMO colour poster (publication Sales No. 981) entitled “Symbols related to life-saving appliances and arrangements".

  3.1.3 The colours used in the signs and cabin numbers should contrast with the colour of the panelling to which they are attached.

  3.1.4 Care should be taken to place the signs referred to in these guidelines in prominent and continuously illuminated positions and clear of other signs.
