If they are available yes or you can make them up yourself. As long as they have the information they need to produce them.

thanks alarm man i actually have that book allready and it has helped me no end and does have examples of spacing tables in there,
i thought that it would be quite simple to use these from the appropriate manf. to design your own system to a basic standard,

i cant beleive i have to get a company to design it for me just to satisfy the NIC, no doubt they are going to well over spec whats needed to boost their sales, i could understand if it was a substantial project

think im gonna give tech line a call

i think your worrying too much wb,just design it as you see fit,then slightly over spec it,you will be fine,ive seen some brand new buildings with just the basics and they have passed,i mean when you read the em guide for sparks how many buildings have you seen to that spec with the labels on fittings etc,ive seen one and thats it,all the others have not been to the guide,so if you design it as per the guide you will be on the ball imo..

The emergency exit lights above doors do not usually have to be maintained unless it is a building used by the public (theatre etc).
Therefore non maintained may be accepted by the local authority/fire brigade, check with them before designing scheme.
