Hospitality lighting FAQs for Cornwall
Which fire safety law applies in Cornwall?
The Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 sets the duties of the person responsible for fire safety, including emergency lighting where escape routes need it.
What energy rules apply to new lighting in Cornwall?
Approved Document L sets the efficiency that new lighting in Cornwall must meet. We check fittings against it at design stage and keep the evidence for building control.
