The text of the draft was submitted to the formal vote and was approved by CENELEC as EN 50172 on 2004-03-01. For emergency lighting
18、systems, it should be read in conjunction with EN 50171 and EN 1838. Attention is drawn to the Council Directive 92/58/EEC of 24 June 1992 on the minimum requirements for provision of safety and/or health signs at work. The following dates were fixed: latest date by which the EN has to be implemente

This standard relates to the provision of electric emergency escape lighting in all work places and premises open to the public.
22、This European Standard does not cover private domestic premises but its provisions are applicable to common access routes within multi-storey dwellings. This European Standard is also applicable to standby lighting used as emergency escape lighting. There are emerging way guidance techniques that, w

36、he purpose of emergency escape lighting is to ensure the lighting is provided promptly, automatically and for a suitable time in a specified area when the normal power supply to the normal lighting fails. The installation shall ensure that emergency escape lighting fulfils the following functions: a
37、) to illuminate escape route signs; b) to provide illumination onto and along such routes as to allow safe movement towards and through the exits provided to a place of safety; c) to ensure that fire alarm call points and fire equipment provided along escape routes can be readily located and used; d
38、) to permit operations concerned with safety measures. Emergency escape lighting shall be activated not only on complete failure of the supply to the normal lighting but also on a localized failure such as a final circuit failure. Emergency escape lighting is not designed to enable normal operations
39、 to be continued on the premises in the event of failure of normal or standby lighting. Full details of levels and measurement of illuminance and adaptation are specified in EN 1838 and EN 13032. The wiring rules of HD 384 / HD 60364 shall be complied with. 4.2 Identification and luminance of emerge
40、ncy exit signs Where direct sight of an exit is not possible and doubt may exist as to its location, a directional sign (or series of signs) shall be provided, placed such that a person moving towards it will be directed towards an emergency exit. An exit or directional sign shall be in view at all
41、points along the escape route. All signs marking exits and escape routes shall be uniform in colour and format, and their luminance shall comply with EN 1838. NOTE Maintained exit signs should be considered for applications where occupants may be unfamiliar with the building. - 7 - EN 50172:2004 4.3
42、 Escape route lighting The objective of escape route lighting is to enable safe exit for occupants by providing appropriate visual conditions and direction finding on escape routes and to ensure that fire fighting and safety equipment can be readily located and used. 4.4 Open area (anti-panic) light
43、ing 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 providing appropriate visual conditions and direction finding. It is used in areas of undefined escape routes in halls or premises larger than 6
44、0 m2 floor area or smaller areas if there is additional hazard such as use by a large number of people. NOTE Condition BD3 or BD4 of HD 384 also defines areas that require emergency lighting. 4.5 Emergency lighting for high risk task area lighting The objective of high-risk task area lighting is to
45、ensure the safety of people involved in a potentially dangerous process or situation and to enable proper shut down procedures for the safety of other occupants of the premises. 4.6 Standby lighting If standby lighting is used to provide emergency escape lighting, the installation shall comply with
46、the provisions of this standard and the appropriate product and wiring standards. 5 Emergency escape lighting system design 5.1 Plan of premises In order to ensure that the emergency lighting system is engineered in accordance with EN 1838 plans showing the layout of the building and of all existing
47、 or proposed escape routes, fire alarm call points and fire fighting equipment and indicating the positions of all structural items which may offer obstruction to escape shall be provided before commencing system design. 5.2 Failure of normal supply to part of premises Emergency escape lighting shal
48、l operate, in the event of failure of any part of the normal lighting supply. Non-maintained and combined non-maintained emergency luminaires have to operate in the event of failure of a normal lighting final circuit. In all cases, arrangements shall be made to ensure that local emergency escape lig
49、hting will operate in the event of failure of normal supply to the corresponding local area. 5.3 System integrity The provision of highly reliable emergency escape lighting is essential. The illumination by the emergency escape lighting system of a compartment of the escape route shall be from two or more luminaires so that the failure of one luminaire does not plunge the route into total darkness or make the directional finding effect of the system ineffective. For the same reason, two or more luminaires shall be used in each open area (anti-pani
