On an Emergency lighting completion cert PAGE 1 under the heading BSI installation category, it asks for the following:

Type
Mode of operation

What do I fill the boxes with

 

[TPES]

Very old topic i know...

Im unsure of this also

 

[telectrix]

is mode maintained or non maintained. ?

 

[TPES]

I'd of thought that's type, Eg.. M or N/M

 

[TPES]

Or is type.. It's type of use?

Escape route, standby etc..

 

[telectrix]

or is that mode? it's late. the beer has kicked in, eyes are tired, my mode in the next 10 minutes is kip.

 

[Richcar]

Cheers guys for the response.
The answers I found eventually were as follows:
TYPE
self contained or central supply

MODE OF OPERATION
non maintained
maintained
combined maintained
combined non maintained
compound maintained
compound non maintained
satellite

FACILITIES
including test device
including remote test mode
including inhibiting mode
high risk task area lighting

Duration self explanatory really

Hope this might help another fellow tradesman
