Standards

The standards aren't a checklist. They're the engine.

Most tools let you draw a sign and hope it's compliant. WAYX encodes the wayfinding standards as live validation — so every sign is correct by construction.

ISO 7001

Public information symbols

The international pictogram language. WAYX's icon set follows ISO 7001 so symbols read the same to every traveller, in any country.

ISO 3864

Safety colours & signs

Green for safe condition, red for prohibition, blue for mandatory, yellow for warning. WAYX locks these to their meanings — your brand can never repaint a safety sign.

DIN 1450

Legibility

Cap height drives reading distance at the airport 1:300 ratio. WAYX computes the distance every sign is readable from and warns you before it's too small.

WCAG 2.1

Contrast

Text-to-background contrast checked on every sign, targeting AAA where the format allows — so signage is legible for low-vision travellers too.

FAA AC 150/5360-12F

Wayfinding continuity

Decision points can't be more than ~30m apart. WAYX checks that each sign is readable from the previous one, flagging gaps in the path.

ICAO Annex 9

Bilingual hierarchy

Primary and secondary languages, correctly ranked. WAYX enforces a consistent two-language hierarchy on every row.

Skytrax readiness

Compliance, translated into a rating buyers understand.

Wayfinding is one of the three strongest statistical drivers of an airport's Skytrax star rating. WAYX rolls its standards checks into a 1–5 readiness score — so a procurement team can see, at a glance, what a sign is worth to their rating.
