Emergency Lighting Testing
Impending legislation will abolish fire certificates and place
responsibility for fire safety squarely on employers’ shoulders. Chris
Watts, Standards Consultant for Cooper Lighting and Security, looks at
the impact these changes will have on emergency lighting and identifies
the opportunities that will be created for contractors.
Following a consultation period of more than six years, the long
awaited Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order, or RRO, is currently
going through the Parliamentary processes required to make it law, and
detailed requirements will be issued during 2005. The main aim of the
RRO has been to reduce confusion by consolidating and rationalising the
multiple, overlapping fire-safety provisions currently scattered across
more than a hundred statutes and secondary legislation.
