Log Book
An Emergency Lighting Log Book.

Designed specifically for self-contained Emergency Lighting systems this log-book has a capacity of up to 160 fittings for 1 year, 80 fittings for 2 years, or 40 fittings for 4 years. The layout and test procedures enable clients to comply with the requirements of BS5266-1: 2005 and therefore meet their legal obligations in the UK.

Electrical contractors must supply an Emergency Lighting log-book on any Emergency Lighting installation where there is not an existing Emergency Lighting log-book. A log-book is part of the necessary documentation under BS5266 Parts 1 and 8 and therefore if any emergency lights are installed without providing a log-book, the installing contractor has not met the standards which he is required to work to.

To help installers of emergency lighting this log-book also contains the design certificate, installation certificate, verification certificate and completion certificate. There is also an adoption certificate to enable electrical contractors, health and safety managers and responsible persons to check that their existing installation meets requirements.


This log book has been designed to assist in meeting current regulations and general good practice. It does not form part of a contract with the user nor represents a guarantee that using this document will ensure full legal compliance. Information provided is for guidance only. For more detailed information either consult your local fire prevention authority or refer to the relevant standards produced by the British Standards Institution or documents available from HMSO.
