Rules that apply in Cheshire
For buildings in Cheshire, the duty to provide adequate emergency lighting where escape routes need it, and to keep it tested, sits with the responsible person under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005.
Approved Document L (2021 edition, with 2023 amendments) asks for new general lighting to average at least 95 luminaire lumens per circuit-watt, or to use the LENI method. The 2026 edition raises this to more than 105 for work under it from 24 March 2027.
