Document area	Lighting role	Record to keep with the job	Boundary
NCC context	Building classification, adopted edition and project pathway can affect emergency-lighting and exit-sign scope.	NCC edition, project brief, drawings, responsible design notes and revision dates.	A public table cannot decide the building pathway.
AS/NZS 2293.1	System design, installation and operation context for emergency lighting and illuminated exit signs.	Adopted edition, amendment status, layout drawings, luminaire schedule and commissioning evidence.	Do not derive spacing, mounting or illuminance values from a general calculator.
AS/NZS 2293.2	Routine service and maintenance context after installation.	Inspection dates, discharge-test records, defects, corrective actions and responsible party.	Maintenance records belong to the installed system, not an early lighting estimate.
AS/NZS 2293.3	Equipment context for emergency luminaires and exit signs.	Emergency luminaire or exit sign data, classification, marking, battery and test information where relevant.	Equipment suitability depends on the exact luminaire data and project requirements.
Normal workplace lighting	Office, warehouse and task-lighting lux estimates are separate from emergency-lighting evidence.	Ordinary lighting zones, task planes, UGR notes and maintained-light calculations kept in their own record.	A bright normal-lighting result is not an emergency-lighting result.
Electrical installation context	Emergency luminaires, signs, circuits, controls and batteries sit beside electrical-installation requirements.	Electrical drawings, licensed work records, circuit information and handover documents.	This table is not wiring design or installation instruction.
