Rules that apply in County Londonderry
Fire safety duties for premises in County Londonderry come from the Fire and Rescue Services (Northern Ireland) Order 2006 and the Fire Safety Regulations (Northern Ireland) 2010. 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.
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.
Northern Ireland followed the EU timetable, with ordinary T5 and T8 fluorescent tubes phased out from August 2023.
