16 m / 6 m = 16000 mm / 6000 mm = 629,92 inch / 236,22 inch -@ 90 dpi = 56693 px / 21260 px

Even photoshop would melt on that size.
However vectors don't need to be exported for printing, saving to pdf should be the way -oh wait, pdf also has a size limit, hmm...
Is there even a printer capable for printing a 6 m wide material?

What exactly do you working on?

I'd suggest to consult with the printer.
I found printed mesh only in 5 m width, there is a chance a 6 m wide print needs to be welded together from parts. Those printers probably use some cmyk profile, for best colour matching prepressing would be necessary after any export.
What dpi? The one I found was capable of 360 dpi, but
The Editor in Photoshop Elements limits the maximum dimensions of an image to 30,000 pixels by 30,000 pixels. You cannot open or create an image that is over the limit in the Editor
.

200" is the maximum size for pdf-s, so saving your work as pdf won't help either (200"=5080 mm).
