Since CIBSE’s first publication on emergency lighting in 1986, there have been enormous changes in the legal framework for emergency lighting and understanding of how it can best be used to assist escape from buildings. Almost all public buildings now need to have a properly managed emergency lighting system. The new Guide gives advice on the design of emergency escape lighting for all users of buildings and associated areas. It also covers the relevant regulations, standards and requirements and gives guidance on the selection, installation, operation and maintenance of suitable lighting equipment and materials.
