Emergency lighting is essential for the safety of building occupants. It is vital that the lighting comes on if the normal lighting fails. It needs to be sufficiently bright, illuminated for a sufficient length of time and the light sources so positioned, that the building occupants can be evacuated safely in an emergency.
BS 5266-1:2005 now covers emergency lighting in cinemas and replaces CP 1007:1955 Maintained lighting for cinemas. It also covers electrical emergency lighting systems as well as giving guidance and recommendations on the design, installation and wiring of emergency lighting systems to meet the requirements of the European standards BS EN 1838 and BS EN 50172. BS 5266-1:2005 gives information and guidance on the categories of emergency lighting systems and their suitability for premises with different types of occupants.
The characteristics of emergency lighting systems and the lighting levels that they have to deliver are now covered by BS EN 50172 and BS EN 1838, respectively.

The standard is applicable to all types of premises, except for domestic dwellings. However, it is applicable to common access routes in multi-storey dwellings, such as blocks of flats. This edition incorporates changes necessitated by the publication of BS EN 50172, but does not represent a full revision of this standard.
