1. …

2. Character size. Raised characters shall be a minimum of 5/8 inch (15.9 mm) and a maximum of 2 inches (51 mm) high.

ETA Editor's Note

The requirements of 2010 CBC 1117B.5.5 are similar to 1991 ADAAG 4.30.4. The requirements of 2013 CBC 11B-703.2.5 are identical to 2010 ADAS 703.2.5, and are more definitive than the earlier regulations.
