Emergency lighting is also regulated and is an interim norm output for exterior workplaces (on site,...). The different European norms are listed below NBN EN 12665 (2002) - Light and lighting - Basic terms and criteria for specifying lighting requirements NBN EN 12193 (10/1999) - Light and lighting - Lighting for sports facilities NBN EN 12464-1 (2003) ) - Light and lighting - Lighting of work places - Part 1: indoor workplaces. (Replaces NBN L13-006) NBN EN 1838 (08/1999) - Lighting - Emergency lighting NBN EN 12464-2 (2007) - Light and lighting - Lighting of work places - Part 2 exterior workplaces. NBN EN 1837 (08/1999) - Safety of machinery - lighting of machines Lighting standards
