Legal Requirements in Cornwall (England)

Properties in Cornwall (England) fall under English law. The main rules are:

Article 14(2)(h) of the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 requires emergency routes and exits that need illumination to have emergency lighting of adequate intensity if the normal lighting fails, and Article 17 requires it to be kept in efficient working order under a suitable system of maintenance. Whether emergency lighting is needed, and how much, follows from the fire risk assessment. Government fire risk assessment guidance refers to BS 5266-1 as the code of practice for emergency lighting. The same legal basis applies in Wales.

Legislation: Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, articles 14 and 17. Official source: legislation.gov.uk
