David is Managing Director of Jor¬dan UK and ELP Ltd and is a member of LIF Council, Chairman of ICEL and represents the emergency lighting industry on several British and Euro¬pean Standards Committees.
His presentation will cover the standards and legal requirements driving emergency lighting applica¬tions.
7. Fire Certificates previously issued by the local fire authority replaced by formal risk assessments (routinely updated)
8. Risk assessment must ensure that ‘adequate’ emergency lighting is provided and that the emergency lighting installation is routinely tested and maintained.
9. All tests and maintenance work carried out must be recorded and records must be available for inspection by any duly authorised person.
10. Failure to comply may result in the prosecution of individuals within a business NB: BS5266 now includes a model Completion Certificate to assist in conducting risk assessments
53. Sign legend must comply to Luminance requirementsColours to conform with ISO3864 Minimum Luminance anywhere on the face of the sign shall be 2cd/m2
75. Layout internal components keeping the battery and the inverter module away from the direct heat generated by ballasts & lamp cathodes
76.
77. Fit additional supply terminal for incoming un-switched live supply. Follow the customers’ specification for fusing. If there are no other instructions fuse the incoming un-switched supply
78. Position the charge healthy indicator (red or green to customers spec.) in a position that will be visible during normal use
105. Central System added features Central test systems utilise microprocessors and bespoke software. Although most systems require their own data cables the actual test panel can be linked to maintenance computers and building management systems etc. Remote reporting is also possible using modems or GSM signals.
124. If the LED is not correctly operated from a constant current driver circuit and/or does not have very good thermal management the lumen output and colour will deteriorate very quickly (a few thousand hours)
125.
126.
127.
128. Low energy – due to the need to provide battery back-up during mains failure the low energy LED’s are ideally suited
129. Low voltage – LED’s only require low voltage operation, again ideally suited to battery back-up
