Rules that apply in County Down
For buildings in County Down, the duty to provide adequate emergency lighting where escape routes need it, and to keep it tested, sits with the responsible person under the Fire and Rescue Services (Northern Ireland) Order 2006 and the Fire Safety Regulations (Northern Ireland) 2010.
Technical Booklet F2 (June 2022) and its non-domestic guidance set Northern Ireland's own lighting efficacy figures, which differ from England's, so we design to the NI figures.
