Power your business with the Kitemark
Responding to industry needs, the Emergeny Lighting Kitemark scheme complements the Kitemark electrical safety portfolio of products that includes Fire Alarm Installation and Electrical Installations. As an existing Kitemark licensee in either or both of these schemes we felt sure that you would be interested in adding Emergency Lighting to your certification.
Shops, offices and other premises previously excluded from legislation require the installation of emergency lighting to satisfy the New Fire Safety legislation – the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005. Not only must premises contain emergency lighting and escape route signage, the equipment installed must be the correct type, installed in the correct location and satisfy the requirements of BS 5266.
The new Kitemark scheme complements the Kitemark for Fire Alarm Systems Installations and the Kitemark for Electrical Installations. The Emergency Lighting Kitemark scheme is built in a modular format covering Design, Installation, Inspection & Testing and Maintenance.
