Emergency lighting is the primary system to ensure a safe passage of escape from a building in an emergency. 

Emergency Lighting automatically illuminates when the power fails showing people the safest way to the nearest exit. All commercial buildings in Ireland should have a functional escape lighting system installed and tested to comply with IS. 3217:2013 standards.
 

Emergency Lighting should take into account the following:
 

1. Escape route signs
2. Changes in level
3. Changes in direction
4. First aid points
5. Fire alarm or fire fighting points
6. Moving stairways and walkways
7. Toilet facilitates for disabled use
8. Motor generator or plant rooms
9. Corridor intersections
