This standard is supplementary to, and is intended
11、to be used as an addition to, BS 5266-1. The aim of this standard is to promote wider understanding of non-electrical low mounted way guidance systems, to encourage uniformity of application and to give advice on their most effective use within buildings. Owing to the developing nature of the techno
12、logy, a review of this part of BS 5266 will commence three years after the date of publication, as opposed to the usual five early review period. Annex A is informative. Annex B is normative. As a code of practice, this British Standard takes the form of guidance and recommendations. It should not b
13、e quoted as if it were a specification and particular care should be taken to ensure that claims of compliance are not misleading. A British Standard does not purport to include all the necessary provisions of a contract. Users of British Standards are responsible for their correct application. Comp
14、liance with a British Standard does not of itself confer immunity from legal obligations.

BSI 10-1999 1 BS 5266-6:1999 Introduction Photoluminescent way guidance systems use lines of light emitting visual markers to assist in indicating the location of escape routes and exits. Photoluminescent materials and products need sufficient pre-excitation by nor
16、mal lighting. On failure of the normal lighting supply, the photoluminescent system emits the stored energy over a period of time with diminishing luminance. The photoluminescent components remain visible during the period of light decay when the lighting fails. 1 Scope This part of BS 5266 gives re
17、commendations for the planning, design, installation and servicing of photoluminescent low mounted way guidance systems, for use within emergency lighting systems. 2 Normative references The following normative documents contain provisions which, through reference in this text, constitute provisions

In addition, the level of integr
28、ation between photoluminescent low mounted way guidance, overhead normal lighting providing excitation, and illumination of signs should be considered. The type of light sources should be noted and site illuminance measurements should be conducted. For new installations, the supplier/provider of the
29、 photoluminescent products should specify the lighting criteria of daylight and artificial light required to excite the product. 4.2 Selection of escape route Photoluminescent low mounted way guidance relies for its effectiveness on a line of visible markers along the escape route. It is therefore i
30、mportant that the following are identified on the plans: a) all routes suitable for use in an emergency; b) all exits on escape routes, such as intermediate doors, storey exits and final exits; c) all doors situated within the escape route and which do not form part of the means of escape; d) any ro
31、ute which crosses an open area and an appropriate form of marking for that route; e) location of normal lighting luminaires, the type of light source and luminaire cover, and predicted illuminances at placement positions for photoluminescent components. 4.3 Modes of operation It is essential that th
32、e photoluminescent way guidance system should either be continuously excited by normal lighting or be sufficiently illuminated at all material times needed to produce the required luminance. 5 Components Components fixed on the surface of an escape route should not have a significant effect on the c
33、ombustibility or surface spread of flame characteristics of the surface. Photoluminescent components should either conform to the requirements of the 8508C glow wire test as given in IEC 60598-2-22 or the appropriate flame spread requirements given in IEC 60092-101. Components may be adversely affec
34、ted by excessive exposure to UV. Manufacturers should supply documentation on the protection against UV built into their product and agree with the customer on the suitability of the performance of the product for the expected environmental conditions. As components are mounted in exposed positions
35、on or close to the floor they should have: a) a minimum degree of ingress protection of IP54 (dust proof/splash proof) in accordance with BS EN 60529:1992; b) adequate mechanical strength. The component should conform to the category of impact energy for road and street lighting luminaires as given
36、in BS EN 60598-1:1997, Table 4.3 by showing no visible cracking of the material when tested in accordance with that standard; c) adequate methods of fixing to the mounting surface, following the manufacturers instructions. 6 Design 6.1 General Photoluminescent low mounted way guidance systems are in
37、tended to complement emergency escape lighting systems. Guidance on the use and suitability of a photoluminescent low mounted way guidance system should be sought from the relevant enforcing authority and can be obtained by the appraisal of the system against an appropriate risk assessed safety prog
38、ramme. The inter-relationships of specific forms of emergency lighting are illustrated in Figure 1. A low mounted way guidance system should be designed to ensure that the escape route is clearly marked with a visible “line of light” (see 6.3). The escape route corridors should be indicated by a lin
39、e of markers on both sides of the escape route. When the escape route crosses an open area, the location of the route should be indicated by two parallel lines of route markers. With the exception of stairs, it is essential that the lines of markers do not cross the route which is to be used in an e
40、mergency and do not cross the threshold of an exit. An exits use should be identified by indicators or markers. This should be achieved by extending the escape route markers up to door handle height adjacent to the exit or to completely outline the surround of the exit. For doors which are not used
41、as part of the escape route (e.g. cupboard doors), the visual line of the wall mounted marker system should be continued by introducing a floor mounted marker system past the doorway. A photoluminescent indicator should be mounted at a level no higher than 1 m above the floor adjacent to any exit. I
42、n all cases the indicator should be sited in such a position that it can be seen from the approach side of the exit. NOTE All exit signs provided in a premises to which the Health and Safety (Safety signs and signals) Regulations 1996 1 apply are subject to those regulations. BSI 10-1999 3 BS 5266-6
43、:1999 Figure 1 Inter-relationships of specific forms of emergency lighting Breaks may be necessary in the marker system when the escape route passes openings or intersecting corridors. Where such situations occur, breaks of up to 2 m in the marker system are acceptable. Changes in level should be de
44、lineated by wall mounted components indicating the pitchline of a flight of stairs or contour of each tread of a flight of stairs, single steps and ramps. The beginning, passage and end of the change of level needs to be clearly marked. Escape route marker systems incorporated into stair treads shou
45、ld be visible when either ascending or descending the stairs. Marking on the guarding or handrail can provide an additional orientation aid. Additional application factors which may need to be considered are given in annex A. 6.2 Mounting Wall mounted marker systems should normally be mounted no hig
46、her than 300 mm above floor level. Floor mounted marker systems should normally be mounted within 150 mm of the side of the escape route. 6.3 Gaps Luminous elements within the lines of the marker system should be as continuous as possible. Any gaps between luminous elements within the marker system
47、should be 300 mm or less. 6.4 Colour The marker light source should be predominantly either white or green. 6.5 Luminance performance Following excitation by the normal installed lighting for 15 min, the luminance performance of the product should be not less than the minimum installed luminance cha

49、hotopic correction function. 6.6 Width of luminous elements For wall, stair tread and pitchline marker systems, the width of the luminous elements should be at least 75 mm. For stair nosing markings, the width of the luminous elements should be at least 15 mm. For marking of the exit door or exit surround, the width of the luminous elements should be at least 50 mm. 6.7 Installed artificial lighting The installed artificial lighting should provide not less than the minimum excitation illumination necessary for all parts of the photoluminescent system to
