a--Electric lighting shall be provided in fallout shelters.
				Electric power shall be provided where mechanical equipment is
				installed.
b--Lighting and power shall be furnished through an independent
				electrical wiring system supplied from an auxiliary source. Where storage
				batteries are used as an auxiliary source, they shall be located in a service
				area and provisions shall be made to keep them fully charged when not being
				used. The system shall also be supplied from the building service and shall
				have provision in the fallout shelter to transfer from the building supply to
				the auxiliary source in the event of failure of the building supply.
c--Lighting shall provide not less than 2 foot candles at floor
				level in sleeping areas, 5 foot candles at floor level in activity areas and 20
				foot candles at desk level in areas used for administrative or medical
				work.
d--The auxiliary source shall have a capacity and fuel supply
				sufficient to provide and maintain the total lighting and power load for a
				period of at least two weeks at not more than 9 per cent reduction from rated
				system voltage.
e--Switches and controls shall be provided in a central
				location and shall be protected against unauthorized use.
f--At least once a month, the complete system shall be tested
				for at least fifteen minutes with all power and lights energized. Records
				signed by the persons responsible for these tests shall be kept and shall be
				available for inspection.
APPENDIX
GENERALLY ACCEPTED STANDARDS
for
Regulations Governing Construction, Maintenance and
Use of Fallout Shelters applicable to Family
Fallout Shelters
A generally accepted standard is defined in these Regulations
				as a specification, code, rule, guide or procedure in the field of
				construction, or related thereto, recognized and accepted as authoritative and
				as listed in "Generally Accepted Standards for Regulations Governing
				Construction, Maintenance and Use of Fallout Shelters applicable to Family
				Fallout Shelters."
The standards are identified by symbols representing the name
				of the issuing or sponsoring organization or the general category of
				publications, the title of the standard, and its identification number, the
				last figures of which frequently indicate the year of issue. The names of the
				organizations, the abbreviations of their names, and the addresses where copies
				of the standards may be obtained, are listed herein.
The standards are arranged to correspond with parts 1, 3, 4 and
				5 of these Regulations, relating, in that order, to general provisions and
				shielding requirements, structural requirements, fire-safety requirements and
				equipment requirements.
