22、ntroduction Emergency lighting is provided for use when the supply to the normal lighting fails and is therefore powered from a source independent of that supplying the normal lighting. For the purposes of this standard emergency lighting is regarded as a generic term of which there are a number of

23、specific forms, as shown in Figure 1. The requirements given in this standard are a minimum for design purposes and are calculated for the full rated duration period and end of design life of the equipment; the contribution to illumination by reflected light is ignored. The overall objective of emer

24、gency escape lighting is to enable safe exit from a location in the event of failure of the normal supply. The objective of escape route lighting is to enable the safe exit from a location for occupants by providing appropriate visual conditions and direction finding on escape routes and in special

25、locations, and to ensure that fire fighting and safety equipment can be readily located and used. 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 direct

26、ion finding. The flow of light for escape routes or open areas should be downward to the working plane but illumination should also be provided to any obstruction up to 2 m height above that plane. The objective of high risk task area lighting is to contribute to the safety of people involved in a p

27、otentially dangerous process or situation and to enable proper shut down procedures to be carried out for the safety of other occupants of the location. There are emerging techniques that when applied to escape routes in addition to conventional emergency lighting luminaires can enhance their effect

28、iveness in an emergency. These techniques are not included in this standard. Vision varies from person to person, both in the amount of light required to perceive an object clearly and in the time taken to adapt to changes in the illuminance. In general, older people need more light and take a longe

29、r time to adapt to low illuminance on a hazard or escape route. Much anxiety and confusion can be alleviated by strategically placed signs indicating the way out of a location. It is very important that exits are clearly signposted and are visible, whenever the location is occupied. 1 Scope This sta

30、ndard specifies the luminous requirements for emergency lighting systems installed in premises or locations where such systems are required. It is principally applicable to locations where the public or workers have access. 2 Normative references This European Standard incorporates by dated or undat

31、ed reference, provisions from other publications. These normative references are cited in the appropriate places in the text and the publications are listed hereafter. For dated references, subsequent amendments to or revisions of any of these publications apply to this European Standard only when i

40、.1 General To provide visibility for evacuation purposes lighting is required in the volume of the space. In this standard the recommendation is fulfilled by the mounting of luminaires at least 2 m above the floor. Signs which are provided at all exits intended to be used in an emergency and along e

41、scape routes shall be illuminated to indicate unambiguously the route of escape to a point of safety. Where direct sight of an emergency exit is not possible, an illuminated directional sign (or series of signs) shall be provided to assist progression towards the emergency exit. An escape lighting l

42、uminaire complying with EN 60598-2-22 shall be sited to provide appropriate illuminance near each exit door and at positions where it is necessary to emphasize potential danger or safety equipment. The positions to be emphasized shall include the following: a) at each exit door intended to be used i

43、n an emergency; b) near (see note) stairs so that each flight of stairs receives direct light; c) near (see note) any other change in level; d) mandatory emergency exits and safety signs; e) at each change of direction; f) at each intersection of corridors; g) outside and near to each final exit; h)

44、 near (see note) each first aid post; i) near (see note) each piece of fire fighting equipment and call point. Positions denoted as h) or i) if not on the escape route nor in an open area shall be illuminated to 5 lx minimum on the floor. NOTE.T 20For the purposes of this clause, “near” is normally

45、considered to be within 2 m measured horizontally. 4.2 Escape route lighting 4.2.1 For escape routes up to 2 m in width, the horizontal illuminances on the floor along the centre line of an escape route shall be not less than 1 lx and the central band consisting of not less than half of the width of

46、 the route shall be illuminated to a minimum of 50 % of that value. NOTE.T 181 Wider escape routes can be treated as a number of 2 m wide strips or be provided with open area (anti-panic) lighting.

For level horizontal escape routes the luminous intensity of the luminaires shall not exceed the values in Table 1 within the zone 608 to 908 from the downward vertical at all angles of azimuth (see Figure 2). For all other escape routes and areas, the limiting values shall not be exceeded at all angles (see Figure 3). NOTE High contrast between a luminaire and its background can produce glare. In escape route lighting the main problem will be disability glare, in
