Product description: Emergency luminaires must comply with specific regulations and requirements that ensure visibility and people’s safety during power failures, evacuations, fires, or other emergency events. Therefore, they must meet strict standards and technical specifications.

Some of the requirements they must meet are detailed below:

1. Minimum technical conditions for lighting systems in Colombia. RETILAP.
2. Technical requirements to ensure the safety of electrical installations. RETIE, NEC, NTC 2050.
3. Luminaire marking (as applicable). RETILAP, IEC 60598-1, NTC 2230.
4. Immediate switch-on, less than 1 second. RETILAP, IEC 60598-2-22.
5. Luminaires must reach at least 50% of the rated luminous flux after 5 seconds and 100% after 60 seconds, and it must be maintained for the specified autonomy. RETILAP, IEC 60598-2-22.
6. Batteries must be rechargeable. RETILAP, IEC 60598-2-22.
7. Minimum autonomy: 1 h. RETILAP, IEC 60598-2-22.
8. CRI ≥ 70. RETILAP, IEC 60598-2-22, CIE 97:2005.
9. Body material: polycarbonate, ABS, or fire-resistant aluminium. RETILAP, IEC 60598-2-22, IEC 60598-1.
10. Lighting types: anti-panic areas, evacuation routes, and signage. RETILAP, IEC 60598-2-22, ISO 3864.
11. Signage luminaires must have built-in, self-contained illumination; the text must be in Spanish or include easy-to-understand pictograms. RETILAP, IEC 60598-2-22, ISO 3864.
12. Charge and discharge cycles: >400 cycles. RETILAP, IEC 60598-2-22, IEC 62034:2003.
13. Emergency luminaires must declare the IK impact resistance rating, in accordance with the corresponding test. RETILAP, IEC 62262 / EN 62262, IEC 60598-2-22.
14. Emergency luminaires must have a visible indicator showing the luminaire status. RETILAP, IEC 60598-2-22.
15. Emergency luminaire batteries must be marked with the manufacturing date, indicating month and year. RETILAP, IEC 60598-2-22.
