Quick answers

What does BS 5266 require?

BS 5266-1 sets out how emergency escape lighting must be designed, installed, and tested in non-domestic premises. The headline rules: 1 lux on escape routes, 0.5 lux in open areas, 3-hour duration for most premises, monthly function tests and annual full-discharge tests.

Do I need emergency lighting in a small office?

Any premises occupied by people other than the owner-occupier typically falls under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order. That means a fire-risk assessment is needed, and most assessments require emergency lighting on escape routes.
