listed in this section of Part 2.
When testing combined emergency luminaires
according to the requirements of this section, the
tests are limited to those parts of the luminaire
which are involved with providing, emergency
lighting. The components and parts of the
luminaires designed to provide only normal lighting
shall be subjected to the tests according to the
requirements of the relevant section of Part 2 (for
example, if the luminaire is recessed, it shall be
tested according to the requirements of the section
dealing with recessed luminaires).
If some elements of a self-contained emergency
luminaire are adjacent (within 1 m) to the main part
of the luminaire all the elements of the luminaire,
including the means of interconnection, shall satisfy
the relevant requirements of this section.

22.3 Definitions
For the purposes of this section, the definitions of
Section 1 of Publication 598-1 apply. In addition, the
definitions of the relevant IEC lighting publications

Publications 81, 920 (being printed), 924 (being
printed) and 925. The following definitions also
apply:
1) Emergency lighting: Lighting for use when the
supply to the normal lighting fails; it includes
escape lighting and standby lighting.

BSI 01-1999

2) Escape lighting: That part of emergency

lighting which is provided to ensure that the
means of escape can be effectively identified and
safely used at all times when normal or
emergency lighting is required.
3) Standby lighting: That part of emergency
lighting enabling normal activities to continue or
to be terminated safely.
NOTE

This may be at a lower illuminance.

4) Maintained emergency luminaire: A luminaire

in which the emergency lighting lamps are
energized at all times when normal or emergency
lighting is required.
5) Non-maintained emergency luminaire: A
luminaire in which the emergency lighting lamps
are in operation only when the supply to the
normal lighting fails.
6) Combined emergency luminaire: An emergency
lighting luminaire containing two or more lamps,
at least one of which is energized from the
emergency lighting supply and the others from
normal lighting supply. A combined emergency
luminaire is either maintained or
non-maintained.
7) Self-contained emergency luminaire: A
luminaire providing maintained or
non-maintained emergency lighting in which all
the elements, such as the battery, the lamp, the
control unit and the test and monitoring
facilities, where provided, are contained within
the luminaire or adjacent to it (that is,
within 1 m)
8) Centrally supplied luminaire: A luminaire for
maintained or non-maintained operation which is
energized from a central emergency power
system, that is, one not contained within the
luminaire.
9) Compound self-contained emergency
luminaire: A self-contained luminaire providing
maintained or non-maintained emergency
lighting and also providing emergency supply for
operating a satellite luminaire.

supply changeover system, a battery charging
device and, where appropriate, a means for
testing. For tubular fluorescent lamp luminaires
an inverter and lamp ballast can also be included
in the unit.

EN 60 598-2-22:1990

12) Normal supply failure: A condition in which

the normal lighting can no longer provide a
minimum illuminance for emergency escape
purposes and when the emergency lighting
should become operative.
13) Rated luminaire lumen output: The lumen
output as claimed by the luminaire manufacturer
one minute after failure of the normal supply,
and continuously to the end of rated duration of
operation.
14) Rated duration of operation: The time, as
claimed by the manufacturer, that the rated
lumen output is provided, excepting the first
minute of operation, after failure of the normal
supply.
15) Normal mode: The state of a self-contained
emergency luminaire which is ready to operate
while the normal supply is on. In the case of a
normal supply failure, the luminaire
automatically changes over to the emergency
mode.
16) Emergency mode: The state of a self-contained
emergency luminaire which provides lighting
when energized by its internal power source, the
normal supply having failed.

Vmin determined in b) below:
a) For lead-acid batteries 105 C20 amperes
where C20 is the battery capacity in ampere
hours for a 20 h constant current discharge;

1)

for nickel-cadmium batteries 0.0015 C5

amperes where C5 is the battery capacity in
ampere hours for a 5 h constant current
discharge.
b) Vmin = X n
where n = number of cells
and, for lead acid batteries
X = 1.6 V for 1 h duration or less
X = 1.7 V for greater than 1 h duration
and, for nickel-cadmium batteries
X = 0.8 V for all duration values.
The protection system shall prevent any further
discharge of the batteries by a lamp or inverter,
even where a battery voltage rise due to natural
regeneration occurs, until the normal supply has
been restored.
Compliance is checked by measuring the battery
voltage and discharge current during the emergency
mode cycle of the test of Sub-clause 22.12.7.
The battery voltage shall not fall below Vmin and the
discharge current shall not exceed that specified in
Sub-clause 22.6.18.
22.6.14 The operation of a self-contained luminaire
in the emergency mode shall not be influenced by a
short-circuit, a contact to earth or an interruption,
in the wiring of the normal supply.

Sub-clause 12.3.2 of Section 12 of Publication 598-1.
Additionally the luminaire shall operate
satisfactorily during 50 supply voltage switching
operations after the endurance test. Each switching
operation shall consist of connection of the
luminaire to normal rated supply to extinguish the
emergency lamp(s) for 60 s and then disconnection
for 20 s.
Compliance shall be checked by inspection.
NOTE The eleventh 30 h charge at the end of the endurance
test is so that the 50 switching operations test can be started with
the batteries fully charged. The luminaire could not otherwise be
expected to perform satisfactorily with discharged batteries.
For luminaires with short-rated durations of operation or with an
inbuilt delay after restoration of the normal supply before the
emergency lamp extinguishes, the 50 switching operations test
may have to be modified to ensure the batteries are not fully
discharged before the completion of the test. This may be
achieved by additional charging periods between switching
operations.

22.12.2 The thermal tests described in Clauses 12.4

and 12.5 of Section 12 of Publication 598-1 shall be
carried out in both the normal operating mode and
the emergency lighting mode. Luminaires designed
to have pictograms applied to translucent parts
shall be tested with those pictograms applied that
give the most unfavourable thermal effect.
22.12.3 The conditions of test for luminaires in the
emergency mode shall be as follows:
For self-contained emergency luminaires:
The temperature limits of Section 12 of
Publication 598-1 apply at any time between switch
on of the emergency mode and complete battery
discharge.
For combined emergency luminaires:

EN 60 598-2-22:1990

The two circuits are tested together unless it is

evident from the construction that the two circuits
are not designed for operation together.
In the emergency mode the thermal test
abnormal operation (see Clause 12.5 of
Publication 598-1) is carried out without
increasing the supply voltage above its rated value.
22.12.4 For the purposes of Sub-clause 22.12.3
complete battery discharge is indicated as given in
Table 1. The values given apply at an ambient
temperature of 20 5 C.

22.12.5 The temperature allowance of 5 C

stipulated in the first sentence of item a) of
Sub-clause 12.4.2 of Section 12 of Publication 598-1
shall be reduced to 2 C for the limiting temperature
of batteries.
NOTE Measurement of the external temperature of the cell of a
battery normally approximates sufficiently to the internal cell
temperature.

22.12.6 Self-contained emergency luminaires shall

be subjected to an additional thermal test according
to Clause 12.5 of Section 12 of Publication 598-1
except that the abnormal service condition shall be
the replacement of the internal batteries with a
short-circuit link across the battery charger output.
The luminaire shall comply with the requirements
of Sub-clause 12.5.2 of Publication 598-1, shall not
become unsafe and, after removal of the
short-circuit link, reconnection of the batteries and
replacement of fuse-links where necessary, shall
function normally.
22.12.7 On completion of the thermal test (that is,
having complete battery discharge according to
Sub-clause 22.12.4) a self-contained emergency
luminaire is allowed to cool to its rated ambient
temperature (ta) or 25 C whichever is the higher
and is then subjected to a 24 h charging cycle
at 0.9 times minimum rated supply voltage (range)
after which the luminaire shall provide rated lumen
output at the end of the rated duration of operation.

22.13 Resistance to dust and moisture

The provisions of Section 9 of Publication 598-1
apply. For luminaires with IP classification greater
than IP20 the order of tests specified in Section 9 of
Publication 598-1 shall be as specified in
Clause 22.12 of this section of Publication 598-2.

22.14 Insulation resistance and

electric strength
The provisions of Section 10 of Publication 598-1
apply.
Conditions for testing electronic ballast inverters
shall be as specified in IEC Publications 924
and 925.

22.15 Resistance to heat, fire and

tracking
The provisions of Section 13 of
IEC Publication 598-1 apply together with the
requirements of Sub-clause 22.15.1.
22.15.1 External parts of insulating material of
escape lighting luminaires not retaining live parts
in position shall withstand the test of
Sub-clause 13.3.2 of Publication 598-1.

22.16 Photometric performance

22.16.1 The luminaire shall provide the rated lumen
output claimed by the manufacturer during
operation in the emergency mode 1 min after failure
of the normal supply, and continuously to the end of
rated duration.
The variation in light output from the luminaire
during the first minute of operation in the
emergency mode after failure of the normal supply
shall be as specified by the manufacturer.
Compliance shall be checked by measurement for
self-contained luminaires, during operation from
the internal batteries after a 24 h charge
at 0.9 times minimum rated voltage (range) and for
centrally supplied luminaires, during operation
at 0.9 times minimum rated voltage (range).
NOTE The luminaire manufacturer has no control over the
batteries which may be used with a centrally supplied luminaire
and the 10 % reduction allows for the typical voltage drop in an
installation. The battery voltage could be up to 15 % lower at the
end of rated duration and the consequential effect on light output
should be taken into account when using the rated lumen output
figure of the luminaire for the calculation of photometric
installation data.

22.16.2 The manufacturer shall make available the

photometric distribution data for the luminaire in
emergency mode of operation.
The manufacturer shall also make available details
of the luminance uniformity for translucent parts of
the luminaire intended for use with pictograms,
legends or the like.
This data shall be corrected for the conditions of
minimum luminous flux resulting from the
combined effects of:
a) the minimum operating voltage at the end of
the quoted battery life;

BSI 01-1999

EN 60 598-2-22:1990

b) the minimum operating voltage 1 min after

interruption of the normal supply and
subsequently during continuous operation to the
end of the stated duration of the emergency
lighting system.
22.16.3 Photometric measurements on the
luminaire shall be made in accordance with the
requirements of the relevant publications of the CIE
(International Commission on Illumination).
The translucent parts of the luminaire provided
with legends, symbols or the like are replaced by an
equivalent device supplied by the manufacturer free
of such symbols.
NOTE ClE Publication 24 (1973) gives recommendations for
the photometric measurements of indoor fluorescent luminaires.

22.17 Changeover operation

22.17.1 Changeover from normal to emergency
mode shall occur at not less than 0.6 times
maximum rated supply voltage (range). It shall not
occur at greater than 0.85 times minimum rated
supply voltage (range).
Compliance shall be checked by the tests described
in Sub-clause 22.17.2.
22.17.2 Following complete battery discharge
according to Sub-clause 22.12.4, the luminaire is
subjected to a 24 h charging cycle at 0.9 times
minimum rated supply voltage (range) in its normal
lighting mode, if applicable.
The supply to the luminaire is then reduced
within 0.5 s to 0.6 times maximum rated voltage,
after which the emergency lamps shall operate and
remain operating to provide the declared rated
luminaire lumen output after 1 min.
The luminaire supply is then switched off and
on 500 times, each cycle consisting of 2 s off and 2 s
on [at 0.85 times minimum rated supply voltage
(range)]. After these cycles the supply is again
reduced to 0.6 times maximum rated voltage and
the luminaire shall provide rated lumen output
after 1 min.
The luminaire shall operate satisfactorily during
and after the test.
22.17.3 In self-contained emergency luminaires
with rest mode facility, changeover from rest mode
to normal mode shall occur automatically at not
greater than 0.9 times minimum rated supply
voltage.
Compliance shall be checked by the test described in
Sub-clause 22.17.2 but with the self-contained
luminaire put into the rest mode half way through
the 2 s supply off periods in the 500 switching cycles.

BSI 01-1999

After the final lumen output measurement of

Sub-clause 22.17.2 the self-contained luminaire
shall be put in the rest mode and the supply slowly
increased to 0.9 times minimum rated voltage. The
changeover from rest to normal mode shall operate
automatically.

22.18 High temperature operation

Luminaires shall be capable of operating
satisfactorily in the emergency mode at an ambient
temperature of 70 C.
Compliance shall be checked by the following test:
Self-contained luminaires shall be charged for 24 h
at ta in a draught-free enclosure and at maximum
rated supply voltage (range). The luminaire, while
still connected to maximum rated supply voltage
(range), shall then be placed in a pre-heated
enclosure at 70 C except that for maintained and
combined luminaires, the lamp(s) shall be switched
off. After 1 h at this higher temperature the
luminaire shall be changed over to emergency mode.
Centrally supplied luminaires shall be placed in a
pre-heated enclosure at 70 C and after 1 h
connected to maximum rated supply voltage
(range).
The luminaires shall operate with a lamp current
not less than 50 % of the normal emergency mode
lamp current (measured at ta) for at least 50 % of
rated duration for self-contained luminaires and for
at least 1.5 h for centrally supplied luminaires.

22.19 Battery chargers for

self-contained emergency luminaires
22.19.1 The battery charger shall provide the rated
charge performance specified by the battery
manufacturer to charge batteries within 24 hours
over the rated ambient temperature range and
when operating at voltages within the range of 0.9
times the minimum rated supply voltage (range)
and 1.06 times the maximum rated supply voltage
(range).
22.19.2 Transformers built into self-contained
emergency luminaires for charging the batteries
shall comply with the relevant requirements of
IEC Publication 742.

EN 60 598-2-22:1990

Appendix A Batteries for emergency luminaires

A1 Batteries incorporated in emergency lighting luminaires are in the following categories:
a) sealed nickel-cadmium batteries;
b) sealed lead acid batteries.
A2

Sealed battery:A battery constructed without provision for the replacement of the products of
electrolysis. A pressure exhaust vent may be included.

A3 All batteries suffer a loss of effective capacity during their life, some more rapidly than others.
Sub-clause 22.6.8 implies that the minimum interval between replacements is four years. To comply with
this requirement, a battery with excess initial capacity should be chosen so that the luminaire will achieve
its duration as marked, up to the time of battery replacement. The amount of excess initial capacity
required depends on the type of battery chosen.
A4 Where a luminaire is designed for mounting in any attitude, care should be taken in the choice of
battery. Some types of sealed lead acid batteries are unsuitable for this type of application.

Annex ZD (informative)
Rest mode luminaires
It is necessary to protect the integrity of emergency luminaires when the building is unoccupied. This can
be achieved by installing the luminaires on a separate sub-circuit in the building so that when the power
is switched off to all the normal circuits the emergency luminaires are left connected so that the batteries
continue to be charged and the luminaires do not change over to the emergency mode.
Alternatively, the emergency luminaires may be constructed to include rest mode provisions. In this case
all the power to the building may be switched off, but then remote control devices and special wiring for
them must be installed to switch the luminaires into the rest mode so that the luminaires do not change
into the emergency mode when the power is switched off.
The advocates of non-rest mode luminaires give the following supporting arguments:
1. The luminaires are more simple and probably therefore more reliable.
2. No special action is necessary on re-occupation of the building to re-set the luminaires.
3. In the event of an emergency when the building is unoccupied, the luminaires will switch to the
emergency mode for the benefit of security personnel.
4. At present no specifications exist for the special remote control devices essential to rest mode
operation.
5. Clearly drafted wiring rules are not available in most countries for rest mode circuits in the building.
On the contrary, countries using rest mode luminaires point out that:
1. With all power switched off when the building is unoccupied, a safer condition exists.
2. Experience gained so far with rest mode luminaires leads to the conclusion that they are reliable and
installation problems can be satisfactorily resolved.
3. The rest mode protects the batteries before installation and during storage. These luminaires can
therefore be delivered with the batteries included, whereas without the rest mode the batteries must be
commissioned by the installing engineer.
