National foreword

This Section of BS 4533 has been prepared under the direction of the Electrical
Illumination Standards Policy Committee and is the English language version of
EN 60 598-2-22 Luminaires Part 2: Particular requirements Section 22
Luminaires for emergency lighting, published by the European Committee for
Electrotechnical Standardization (CENELEC). It was derived by that
organization from IEC Publication 598-2-22 (1990) edition 2, which has a similar
title as that of the European Standard. This Section of BS 4533 supersedes
BS 4533-102.22:1981 which is withdrawn.
The CENELEC Common Modifications have been implemented at the
appropriate places in the text of IEC Publication 598-2-20 (1990) edition 2, and
are indicated by a side line in the margin. The foreword and preface of IEC
Publication 598-2-22 (1990) edition 2, and the deleted parts of the original IEC
text which do not form part of the text of EN 60 598-2-22 have been quoted in
National appendix NA. Annexes designated normative are part of the body of
the standard. Annexes designated informative are given for information only.
National appendices are designated informative.
In 22.1, 22.2, 22.12 and 22.13 where the words section of Part 2 of
IEC Publication 598, section of Part 2 and section of IEC Publication 598-2
appear they should be read as section of BS 4533. In 22.1 and 22.2 where
Part 1 appears this should be read as Part 101. Where the words
Publication 598-1 appear they should be read as BS 4533-101.
Cross-references. Details of other international publications quoted in this
British Standard are given in Annex ZA. Where there are British Standards
corresponding to these international standards the relationships are given in
National appendix NB.
Product certification. Users of this British Standard are advised to consider
the desirability of third party certification of product conformity with this British
Standard based on testing and continuing surveillance, which may be coupled
with assessment of a suppliers quality systems against the appropriate Part of
BS 5750.
Enquiries as to the availability of third party certification schemes will be
forwarded by BSI to the Association of Certification Bodies. If a third party
certification scheme does not already exist, users should consider approaching an
appropriate body from the list of Association members.
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.

This European Standard was approved by CENELEC on 5 March 1990.


CENELEC members are bound to comply with the CEN/CENELEC Internal
Regulations which stipulate the conditions for giving this European Standard
the status of a national standard without any alteration.
Up-to-date lists and bibliographical references concerning such national
standards may be obtained on application to the Central Secretariat or to any
CENELEC member.
This European Standard exists in three official versions (English, French,
German). A version in any other language made by translation under the
responsibility of a CENELEC member into its own language and notified to the
Central Secretariat has the same status as the official versions.

Appendix A Batteries for emergency luminaires


A1 Batteries incorporated in emergency lighting luminaires are in the following categories:
a) sealed nickel-cadmium batteries;
b) sealed lead acid batteries.

A2 Sealed battery:A battery constructed without provision for the replacement of the products of
electrolysis. A pressure exhaust vent may be included.

A3 All batteries suffer a loss of effective capacity during their life, some more rapidly than others.
Sub-clause 22.6.8 implies that the minimum interval between replacements is four years. To comply with
this requirement, a battery with excess initial capacity should be chosen so that the luminaire will achieve
its duration as marked, up to the time of battery replacement. The amount of excess initial capacity
required depends on the type of battery chosen.
A4 Where a luminaire is designed for mounting in any attitude, care should be taken in the choice of
battery. Some types of sealed lead acid batteries are unsuitable for this type of application.

Annex ZD (informative)
Rest mode luminaires
It is necessary to protect the integrity of emergency luminaires when the building is unoccupied. This can
be achieved by installing the luminaires on a separate sub-circuit in the building so that when the power
is switched off to all the normal circuits the emergency luminaires are left connected so that the batteries
continue to be charged and the luminaires do not change over to the emergency mode.
Alternatively, the emergency luminaires may be constructed to include rest mode provisions. In this case
all the power to the building may be switched off, but then remote control devices and special wiring for
them must be installed to switch the luminaires into the rest mode so that the luminaires do not change
into the emergency mode when the power is switched off.
The advocates of non-rest mode luminaires give the following supporting arguments:
1. The luminaires are more simple and probably therefore more reliable.
2. No special action is necessary on re-occupation of the building to re-set the luminaires.
3. In the event of an emergency when the building is unoccupied, the luminaires will switch to the
emergency mode for the benefit of security personnel.
4. At present no specifications exist for the special remote control devices essential to rest mode
operation.
5. Clearly drafted wiring rules are not available in most countries for rest mode circuits in the building.
On the contrary, countries using rest mode luminaires point out that:
1. With all power switched off when the building is unoccupied, a safer condition exists.
2. Experience gained so far with rest mode luminaires leads to the conclusion that they are reliable and
installation problems can be satisfactorily resolved.
3. The rest mode protects the batteries before installation and during storage. These luminaires can
therefore be delivered with the batteries included, whereas without the rest mode the batteries must be
commissioned by the installing engineer.

Foreword of IEC Publication 598-2-22 (1990) edition 2
1) The formal decisions or agreements of the IEC on technical matters, prepared by Technical Committees
on which all the National Committees having a special interest therein are represented, express, as nearly
as possible, an international consensus of opinion on the subjects dealt with.
2) They have the form of recommendations for international use and they are accepted by the National
Committees in that sense.
3) In order to promote international unification, the IEC expresses the wish that all National Committees
should adopt the text of the IEC recommendation for their national rules in so far as national conditions
will permit. Any divergence between the IEC recommendation and the corresponding national rules
should, as far as possible, be clearly indicated in the latter.
