Standardisation in Emergency Escape Lighting and Exit Signs for Buildings

Standards Australia recently approved a project proposal to revise Australian/New Zealand Standard for AS/NZS 2293 Emergency Escape Lighting and Exit Signs for Buildings. The project will be kicked off by LG-007 Emergency Lighting in Building Committee (LG-007 Committee) in the coming months.

Standards Australia has asked the Institute to put forward a representative of the architecture profession’s interests on the LG-007 Technical Committee. Consequently, we are seeking someone with a technical background or experience in this topic area. It is expected that the Institute representatives will communicate and feedback regularly and carry the position of the Institute to all meetings.

The Technical Committee working on this project will meet around four times over the next 24 months. Each meeting is generally held face to face, for a full day. Meetings will largely be run out of Standards Australia offices in Sydney however, there is always the opportunity for teleconferences. Meeting dates and details will be communicated in due course. This project kick off meeting is scheduled for  29th and 30th October 2013 in Sydney. The kick off meeting is a formal project initiation process where the attendance of all project stakeholders is vitally important. Please consider these meeting dates when considering your participation.

Please note that the Institute will arrange and cover the cost of flights and accommodation for the Institute representative.

Further details on the scope of the proposed project can be forwarded by request to interested parties by contacting carmel.mccormack@architecture.com.au before close of business Fri 18
