Emergency Lighting & Fire-Safety Responsibilities
BS 5266-1:2025 is the current British Standard code of practice for emergency lighting of premises. It covers recommendations and guidance for emergency-lighting design, installation, application and maintenance.
For businesses and other non-domestic premises, the responsible person must carry out and review a fire risk assessment, maintain appropriate fire-safety measures and plan for emergencies. Emergency lighting should be provided where needed so escape routes can be used safely if normal lighting fails.
