Summary:
British Standard EN 50172 (BS EN 50172) details the recommendations for illumination of escape routs and safety signs if the normal lighting supply fails. It also details the minimum provision of electric emergency escape lighting and standby lighting based on the type, size, and usage of the premises. This applies to all work place and public premises, but it does not apply to private domestic premises. Specifications include emergency lighting installation, servicing, testing, design, and record, and log keeping. Types of illumination lighting include standby lighting, emergency lighting, open area (anti-panic) lighting, escape route lighting, and emergency exit signs.
