- Decree of December 14, 2011 on emergency lighting installations
This decree sets out the design and implementation rules, as well as the operating and maintenance conditions for emergency lighting in establishments subject to the provisions of article R. 4227-14 of the French Labour Code.
In establishments open to the public, for premises whose essential function is to receive the public, and for passageways accessible to the public, the provisions of the safety regulations relating to such establishments are the only ones applicable to emergency lighting in these premises or passageways.
In establishments with premises such as canteens, restaurants, conference rooms and meeting rooms, emergency lighting for these premises must comply with regulations governing establishments open to the public, where these are more stringent.
