DIN EN 1838
Standard 01 / 05
Applied lighting technology — Emergency lighting
Illuminance levels, uniformity and rated operating duration for escape routes and anti-panic lighting.
DIN EN 1838
Emergency & safety lighting
FireLux plans, installs and maintains safety and emergency lighting systems to DIN EN 1838 and ASR A3.4/3 — from compliant escape route design through to recurring inspection.
At a glance.
When the general power supply fails, a familiar corridor becomes an unknown space. Emergency lighting keeps rescue routes recognisable and passable until everyone has left the building.
Our scope covers compliant design of the escape routes, professional installation, and the regular inspection and maintenance that assures operational and legal certainty.
- Design to DIN EN 1838 and ASR A3.4/3
- Compliant layout of rescue and escape routes
- Safety signs and illuminated escape route signage
- Professional installation of self-contained and central battery systems
- Regular inspection and maintenance including logbook
