12、ghting in Buildings, to supersede, in part,AS 2293.11987* and, in part, NZS 6742:1971.This Standard sets out requirements for emergency luminaires and exit signs that formpart of an emergency evacuation lighting system for a building. The objective of theserequirements is to ensure the safe and effe
13、ctive functioning of the emergency luminairesand exit signs under operational and environmental conditions representative of thosewhich can reasonably be expected to apply in service.Arising from a review of the 1987 edition of AS 2293.1, opportunity has been taken tocollect together the requirement
14、s for emergency luminaires and exit signs to form aseparate part (Part 3) of the AS/NZS 2293 series, leaving AS/NZS 2293.1 to coverrequirements for the overall system design, installation and operation.The requirements in this Standard are essentially the same as those which existed inAS 2293.11987*
15、. Changes of significance that have been made include the following:(a) Revision of the form of specifying the colours of exit signs (see Clause 3.6).(b) Revision of the requirements for the provision of a test switch, for self-containedemergency luminaires and exit signs (see Clause 4.3.2).(c) Addi
16、tion of a requirement for battery circuits to be protected from excessivedischarge currents in the event of fault conditions (see Clause 4.4.4).(d) Alteration of the requirements for battery chargers, including a new test to assessperformance under short circuit condititions (see Clause 4.5 and Para
17、graph D4,Appendix D).(e) The inclusion of requirements for self-contained emergency luminaires and exitsigns with automatic discharge testing facilities (see Clause 4.8 and Paragraph D3of Appendix D).(f) Modification of the photometric testing conditions and the associated requirementsfor establishi
18、ng luminaire classifications (see Paragraphs C2.1 and C3 ofAppendix C).Different requirements apply in Australia and in New Zealand with respect to the formand dimensions of exit signs (see Clause 3.4). The differences arise from differingregulatory practices in the respective countries. It is antic
19、ipated that these differences willbe reconciled in the near future by adoption of exit signs of the pictogram type (i.e.symbolic outline of a person moving towards an open door), when requirements forinternally illuminated forms of these signs are agreed internationally.With reference to requirement
20、s for radio interference suppression (see Clause 1.5),compliance with AS/NZS 4051 is already mandatory in New Zealand under regulationsissued by the Ministry of Commerce. In Australia, the Spectrum Management Agency hasdeclared that compliance with AS/NZS 4051 will be required under Commonwealthlegi
