Overview
C J Watts
New fire safety legislation places considerable responsibility on all those involved in designing, installing and manufacturing emergency lighting systems, to meet fire safety risk assessments. Users and their supporting engineers need appropriate knowledge of the legislation, relevant standards and product practices to ensure that requirements are correctly implemented. They will also have to complete documentation to be able to demonstrate their systems comply with the new requirements.
A Guide to Emergency Lighting aids users and design, installation and maintenance engineers in providing appropriate emergency lighting systems to assist occupants to leave premises safely and comply with this new legislation. It covers all aspects of the selection, design, installation, maintenance and testing of battery powered emergency lighting systems to meet legislation.
