The extent to which ISO 11320:2011 needs to be applied depends on the overall criticality risk presented by the facilities at the site

ISO 23601:2009 establishes design principles for displayed escape plans that contain information relevant to fire safety, escape, evacuation and rescue of the facility’s occupants.
