Emergency escape lighting systems

This European Standard specifies the provision of illumination of escape routes and safety signs in the event of failure of the normal supply, and specifies the minimum provision of such emergency lighting based on the size, type and usage of the premises. This standard relates to the provision of electric emergency escape lighting in all work places and premises open to the public. This European Standard does not cover private domestic premises but its provisions are applicable to common access routes within multi-storey dwellings. This European Standard is also applicable to standby lighting used as emergency escape lighting. There are emerging way guidance techniques that, when applied to escape routes in addition to conventional emergency lighting luminaires, can enhance its effectiveness in an emergency.

Sicherheitsbeleuchtungsanlagen

Diese Europäische Norm legt die Kennzeichnung von Rettungswegen und die Anforderungen der Beleuchtung an Rettungswege bei Störung der allgemeinen Stromversorgung sowie die Mindestanforderung einer solchen Sicherheitsbeleuchtung je nach Größe, Art und Nutzung der baulichen Anlage fest. Diese Norm betrifft die Festlegung einer elektrischen Sicherheitsbeleuchtung an allen Arbeitsplätzen und anderen baulichen Anlagen für Menschenansammlungen. Diese Europäische Norm bezieht private Wohnhäuser nicht ein, ihre Bestimmungen müssen aber für öffentlich zugängliche Wege innerhalb von Wohnhochhäusern angewandt werden. Diese Europäische Norm gilt auch für Ersatzbeleuchtung, wenn diese als Sicherheitsbeleuchtung benutzt wird. Es gibt Techniken für Sicherheitsleitsysteme, die die Wirksamkeit im Notfall erhöhen können, wenn sie in Rettungswegen zusätzlich zu herkömmlichen Leuchten der Sicherheitsbeleuchtung eingesetzt werden.

Systèmes d'éclairage de sécurité

La présente Norme Européenne donne les prescriptions pour la signalisation et l’éclairage des voies d’évacuation en cas de défaillance de l’alimentation normale, et définit les besoins minimaux pour l’éclairage de sécurité en fonction de la taille, du type et de l’utilisation des locaux. La présente norme traite de l’éclairage de sécurité dans les locaux recevant des travailleurs et dans les locaux recevant du public. Cette Norme Européenne ne couvre pas les locaux d’habitation privés, mais ses prescriptions sont applicables aux circulations communes des immeubles d’habitations à plusieurs étages. Cette Norme Européenne s’applique aussi à l’éclairage de remplacement dans le cas où il est utilisé comme éclairage de sécurité. De nouvelles techniques de guidage existent qui utilisées en complément des luminaires conventionnels de sécurité dans les voies d’évacuation peuvent augmenter leur efficacité pendant une évacuation.
