CEN/TC 169/WG 3 - Emergency lighting in buildings

This document specifies the luminous requirements for emergency lighting systems, including adaptive emergency escape lighting systems, electric emergency lighting, installed in premises or locations where such systems are required or needed and which are principally applicable to locations where the public or workers have access.

This CEN Technical Specification specifies the lighting and operating requirements for the application of adaptive emergency escape lighting systems that can interact with management and control systems or be provided with functionality to modify the operation of emergency escape lighting according to situational requirements, in terms of luminous flux output, escape directions and the characteristics and meaning of emergency escape lighting.
The situational requirements can require the involvement and interaction with components and systems other than emergency escape lighting systems.
Requirements for these components or systems are not part of this document.

This document specifies the required data for lamps and luminaires for the verification of conformity to the requirements of EN 1838. This document does not define the data requirements for signage, as these can be found in EN 1838.
This document is used in conjunction with EN 13032-1 and EN 13032-4.
This document specifies the requirements for emergency lighting with or without a replaceable light source.
NOTE   Product, safety and performance data can be found in CENELEC documents (see Bibliography).
