| Intent | Intent 1: To limit the probability that the performance of self-contained
emergency lighting units will fall significantly below expectations, which
could lead to such devices not performing in the way intended when there is
a loss of normal power, which could lead to certain areas in buildings having
inadequate illumination, which could lead to safety hazards [bumping, tripping,
falling, etc.], which could lead to harm to persons. Intent 2: To limit the probability that the performance of self-contained

a loss of normal power in an emergency situation, which could lead to delays
in the evacuation or movement of persons to a safe place, which could lead
to harm to persons. |
