It wasprepared by Subcommittee EL/1/1, Emergency li
21、ghting, under the authority ofTechnical Committee EL/1, Light and lighting applications. A list of organizationsrepresented on these committees can be obtained on request to their secretary.SupersessionThis part of BS 5266 supersedes BS 5266-1:2011, which is withdrawn.Relationship with other publica
22、tionsThis part of BS 5266 is intended for use in conjunction with BS EN 1838and BS EN 50172.BS EN 50172:2004, 4.1 specifies compliance with the wiring rules givenin HD 384/HD 60364. The UK applicable parts of HD 384/HD 60364 areimplemented in the IET Wiring Regulations (BS 7671).BS 5266 is published
23、 in the following parts: Part 1: Code of practice for the emergency lighting of premises; Part 2: Code of practice for electrical low mounted way guidance systemsfor emergency use; Part 4: Code of practice for design, installation, maintenance and use ofoptical fibre systems; Part 5: Specification f
24、or components parts of optical fibre systems; Part 6: Code of practice for non-electrical low mounted way guidancesystems for emergency use Photoluminescent systems; Part 8: Emergency escape lighting systems (also numbered BS EN 50172).The following topics are covered in BS EN 50172 and BS EN 1838:
25、general requirements for emergency escape lighting; escape route lighting; open area (anti-panic) lighting; high risk task area lighting; standby lighting.Detailed guidance on fire risk assessments is given in PAS 79, in a series ofguides published by the Department for Communities and LocalGovernme
26、nt 111, and in guidance published by the Justice Department of theScottish Government 1221.Guidance on risk assessments for health and safety is given in HSE publicationINDG 163 22.A summary of the hierarchy of standards covering the different aspects ofemergency lighting systems is given in Annex A
27、.Information about this documentThis is a full revision of the standard. The principal change introduced is anexpansion of the scope to cover emergency safety lighting and standby lighting,as well as emergency escape lighting.BRITISH STANDARDBS 5266-1:2016iv The British Standards Institution 2016The
28、 aim of this standard is to promote wider understanding of the differenttypes of emergency lighting system which may be employed, and to giveguidance on their correct application to the varied requirements of differentcategories of premises.The recommendations given in this standard have been drawn
29、up to encourageuniformity of application, based on providing adequate safety to people in theevent of interruption of the normal lighting, and having due regard to thehazard level and degree of familiarity of occupants with particular premises.The standard recognizes that, in addition to ensuring sa
30、fe unobstructed meansof escape from the premises at all times, an important function of emergencylighting is to make possible the immediate location and operation of fire alarmcall points and fire-fighting equipment, and another is to minimize the chanceof panic arising in enclosed spaces, such as l
31、ifts. Although the standard makesrecommendations for the provision of emergency lighting in a wide variety ofpremises, the fact that particular types of premises are mentioned in Clause 9does not necessarily mean that all such premises are required by law to haveemergency lighting installed. For cer
32、tain types of premises, the provisions of thisstandard might be supplemented or replaced by alternative requirements at thediscretion of the enforcing authority.Use of this documentAs a code of practice, this part of BS 5266 takes the form of guidance andrecommendations. It should not be quoted as i
33、f it were a specification andparticular care should be taken to ensure that claims of compliance are notmisleading.Any user claiming compliance with this part of BS 5266 is expected to be able tojustify any course of action that deviates from its recommendations.BSI permits the reproduction by indiv

This reproduction is onlypermitted where it is necessary for the user to use the sample certificates givenin the figures during each application of the standard.Presentational conventionsThe provisions in
35、 this standard are presented in roman (i.e. upright) type. Itsrecommendations are expressed in sentences in which the principal auxiliaryverb is “should”.Commentary, explanation and general informative material is presented insmaller italic type, and does not constitute a normative element.Where wor

Users are responsible for
37、its correct application.Compliance with a British Standard cannot confer immunity from legalobligations.Particular attention is drawn to legal requirements in respect of emergencylighting.

39、ersonswith control of premises, to carry out risk assessments and to take suchprecautions as to ensure as far as reasonably practicable the safety of theoccupants. These measures include the provision of safe means of escape,including emergency escape routes and exits, together with, where necessary
40、,signs indicating them. Legislation also states that suitable and sufficientemergency lighting needs are to be provided, where people are particularlyexposed to danger, in the event of failure of the supply to the normal lighting.There is increasing recognition of the application of emergency lighti
41、ng to assistthe safety of occupants who stay in a building during a mains supply failure. Inmany instances, particularly in places with frequently occurring power cuts, itmight not be necessary or appropriate to evacuate the premises in the event offailure of the supply to the normal lighting, but p
42、recautions need to be taken toenable occupants to remain on the premises in safety. This revised edition of thestandard covers the use of emergency lighting in premises that are notevacuated immediately, as well as conventional emergency escape lighting.Some guidance on new developments in emergency
43、 lighting application andtechnology is given in Annex B.Emergency lighting can perform the following functions, some of which can becombined into a single system:a) emergency escape lighting, which provides illumination of escape routes,signs and points of emphasis to assist occupants to evacuate th
44、e premises;b) emergency safety lighting, which provides lighting for safe movement in thepremises when the occupants need not evacuate the premises immediately;c) standby lighting, powered by an alternative power supply, which providessufficient lighting to operate the premises normally in the event
45、 of a totalfailure of the main power supply.The different types of emergency lighting are illustrated in Figure 1. Guidanceon the application of emergency lighting systems is given in Annex C.Figure 1 Types of emergency lightingBRITISH STANDARD BS 5266-1:2016 The British Standards Institution 2016 1
46、1 ScopeThis part of BS 5266 gives recommendations and guidance on the factors thatneed to be taken into account in the design, installation and wiring of electricalemergency lighting systems, in order to provide the lighting performanceneeded for safety of people in the building in the event of fail
47、ure of the supplyto the normal lighting.This British Standard applies to emergency lighting systems used to:a) assist occupants to leave a building during an emergency;b) help protect occupants if they stay in a building during an emergency;c) help occupants to continue normal operations in the even
48、t of failure of thesupply to the normal lighting.This part of BS 5266 also gives recommendations for lighting in areas with fixedseating.This part of BS 5266 is not applicable to dwellings; however, its provisions areapplicable to common access routes within blocks of flats or maisonettes.2 Normativ
