DIN EN 1838:2013-10 EN 1838:2013 (E) 4 Introduction Emergenc
25、y lighting is provided for use when the supply to the normal lighting fails and is therefore powered from a source independent of that supplying the normal lighting. For the purposes of this standard emergency lighting is regarded as a generic term of which there are a number of specific forms, as s
26、hown in Figure 1. Figure 1 Specific forms of emergency lighting The overall objective of emergency escape lighting is to enable safe exit from a location in the event of failure of the normal supply. The objective of each form within this category is as follows. The objective of escape route lightin
27、g is to assist the safe exit from a location for occupants by providing appropriate visual conditions and direction finding on escape routes and in special locations, and to ensure that fire fighting and safety equipment can be readily located and used. The objective of emergency lighting of escape
28、route safety signs is to provide appropriate visual conditions and direction finding to assist escape routes to be readily located and used. The objective of open area (anti-panic) lighting is to reduce the likelihood of panic and to enable safe movement of occupants towards escape routes by providi
29、ng appropriate visual conditions and direction finding. The flow of light for escape routes or open areas should be downward to the working plane but illumination should also be provided to any obstruction up to 2 m height above that plane. The objective of high risk task area lighting is to contrib
30、ute to the safety of people involved in a potentially dangerous process or situation and to assist proper shut down procedures to be carried out for the safety of other occupants of the location. There are techniques that may be used as a supplement and when applied to escape routes in addition to c
31、onventional emergency lighting luminaires can enhance their effectiveness in an emergency. These techniques are not included in this standard. Vision varies from person to person, both by the amount of light required to perceive an object clearly and in the time taken to adapt to changes in the illu
32、minance. In general, older people need more light and take a longer time to adapt to low illuminance on a hazard or escape route. Much anxiety and confusion can be alleviated by strategically placed signs indicating the way out of a location. It is very important that exits are clearly signposted an
33、d are visible, whenever the location is occupied. DIN EN 1838:2013-10 EN 1838:2013 (E) 5 1 Scope This European Standard specifies the luminous requirements for emergency escape lighting and standby lighting systems installed in premises or locations where such systems are required. It is principally
34、 applicable to locations where the public or workers have access. 2 Normative references The following documents, in whole or in part, are normatively referenced in this document and are indispensable for the application of this document.

45、on requirements To ensure that emergency escape lighting operates when it is required to meet legal requirements, it shall be installed, tested and maintained in accordance with EN 60598-2-22, EN 50172 and EN 62034. The requirements given in this standard are maintained minimum values and are calcul
46、ated for the full rated duration period at the end of the design life of the equipment and the inter-reflected light contribution shall be ignored. The emergency lighting scheme design should be based on worst conditions (e.g. minimum light output, maximum glare limits) of the luminaires during oper
47、ating life and should be based only on direct light from luminaires. The contributions by room surface inter-reflections should be ignored. However, in lighting systems such as indirect luminaires or uplights (used as an emergency luminaire in maintained mode) where the luminaire works in conjunctio
48、n with a reflecting surface, the first reflection (based on the maintained reflectance) may be taken as direct light from the system and subsequent reflections shall be ignored. To provide visibility for evacuation purposes lighting is required in the volume of the space. Signs that are provided at
49、all exits intended to be used in an emergency and along escape routes shall be illuminated to indicate unambiguously the route of escape to a place of safety. In this standard the requirement is fulfilled by mounting the luminaires for lighting and the escape route safety signs at least 2 m above the floor. DIN EN 1838:2013-10 EN 1838:2013 (E) 7 Where practical, for ease of seeing, the safety sign should be mounted not higher than 20 above the horizontal view according to the maximum viewing distance of the sign.
