Foreword
This part of BS 5266 has been prepared by Technical Committee CPL/34/9, Emergency
Lighting.
This standard is supplementary to, and is intended to be used as an addition to,
BS 5266-1.
The aim of this standard is to promote wider understanding of non-electrical low
mounted way guidance systems, to encourage uniformity of application and to give
advice on their most effective use within buildings.
Owing to the developing nature of the technology, a review of this part of BS 5266 will
commence three years after the date of publication, as opposed to the usual five early
review period.
Annex A is informative. Annex B is normative.
As a code of practice, this British Standard takes the form of guidance and
recommendations. It should not be quoted as if it were a specification and particular
care should be taken to ensure that claims of compliance are not misleading.
A British Standard does not purport to include all the necessary provisions of a
contract. Users of British Standards are responsible for their correct application.
Compliance with a British Standard does not of itself confer immunity
from legal obligations.

Introduction 3.2
Photoluminescent way guidance systems use lines of photoluminescent system
light emitting visual markers to assist in indicating non-electrical low mounted way guidance system
the location of escape routes and exits. incorporating photoluminescent pigments that, if
Photoluminescent materials and products need excited by UV or visible radiation, store energy
sufficient pre-excitation by normal lighting. On which is emitted as light over a period of time with
failure of the normal lighting supply, the diminishing luminance
photoluminescent system emits the stored energy
over a period of time with diminishing luminance. 3.3
The photoluminescent components remain visible photoluminescent escape route marker
during the period of light decay when the lighting marker forming part of the way guidance system,
fails. readily visible in low ambient light
NOTE Lines of these markers are provided to clearly delineate an
escape route or define an escape path through an open area.

overhead safety sign may be less effective or obscured.
