About BS 5266

BS 5266 is the key British Standard series guiding emergency lighting design, installation, testing and maintenance in the UK. iComply apply BS 5266 principles on every emergency lighting project across Greater Manchester and the North West—from initial surveys to duration testing and certification. Based in Stockport, we translate the standard into practical site decisions for landlords, designers and facilities managers.

Working “to BS 5266” means more than quoting the number on a proposal. It influences lux levels on escape routes, open area coverage, high-risk task lighting, exit signage, duration, test facilities and record-keeping. Our engineers design and verify systems with those expectations in mind, and we explain trade-offs when existing buildings cannot achieve textbook layouts without structural change. Training for monthly user tests, annual competent testing and battery replacement cycles all form part of a BS 5266-minded service. If a consultant specification references BS 5266, we install and commission against it and document deviations only with client agreement.

  • ●Design and installation guided by BS 5266 principles
  • ●Escape route, open area and high-risk task coverage
  • ●Testing regimes and documentation aligned to the standard
  • ●Remedial programmes for non-compliant existing systems
