3.2 Accommodation areas and corridors

 The test layout should be such that participants should be required to navigate correctly their way to a pre-designated exit via at least four decision points including at least two cross-junctions and at least one T-junction. It should not be possible to navigate the correct route by remaining attached to one continuous wall. The correct route should include the placement of a non-exit door within 2 to 3 m of the correct exit door. A non-exit door is a fail exit. The total distance travelled over the correct route should be not less than 25 m, with the distance between decision points being not less than 5 m.
