The BS 5266 standard specifies all necessary stages for carrying out emergency lighting design. Consultation should be carried out following the Risk Assessment to verify escape routes and establish:
-
Positions of fire alarm call points
-
Position of fire-fighting equipment
-
Positions of escape route signs and other safety signs
-
Requirements for emergency escape lighting
-
Positions of lifts
-
Positions of moving stairways and walkways
-
Position of covered car parks
-
Areas that require standby lighting
-
Areas for the location of central power supply units
-
High risk areas and locations that require emergency lighting
-
Areas that require emergency safety lighting
Having established the positions and areas which need to be illuminated by emergency lighting, the detail lighting design should commence.
