Introduction
A good and reliable signage system should be developed with accessibility in mind to
help guide pedestrians to navigate easily in buildings and public areas. This is of
importance in view of the changing demographic of Singapore, which sees an
increasing elderly population, who will require additional aids to assist them in
navigating through spaces. Hence, wayfinding system should be considered
holistically as part of the building and facility planning process to guide pedestrians.

Welcome Address and Overview of National Standardisation Programme
Mr Robert Chew
Chairman, Silver Industry Standards Committee
The new SS 599 aims at improving wayfinding experiences of public space users and
focusses on generic wayfinding guidelines for common public environments,
encompassing general considerations on the needs of the elderly. Recognising that
each site/facility has its own unique needs, the SS 599 can be used as a basis for
users to expand into a specific set of signage guidelines that meet the needs of their
contexts. The recognisable pictograms/symbols in SS 599 will provide a general
consistent design for users. The standard was developed using universal design
principles as a basis, with specific considerations for the elderly.
