Businesses need to make sure that their entrance is really accessible. Is the door too heavy? Is there adequate space beside the door for access, etc? Some people appear to think that width of the doorway is the only thing that matters. There is no code requirement for the ISA to be six inches square, or any size, for that matter. You are confusing this with the pictogram requirement ONLY WHEN the pictogram identifies a room or space, to be in a six inch high field. This is a common error. Not that six inches isn't a good size, easy to see, etc. It just is not a requirement. Look it up! Two comments about the ISA at the entrance.
