Rules that apply in Derbyshire
Fire safety duties for premises in Derbyshire come from the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005. Whoever is responsible for fire safety must make sure escape routes are lit if the normal supply fails, and that the system is tested and maintained.
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.
