Em lighting regs?

[sixfingers]

Hi Are there any regulations regarding emergency lighting? The job is a split level shop with 1 x meter feeding 2 x switch fuses feeding separate fuseboards for the two levels of shop,emergency lighting has been fed just from ground floor fuseboard which feeds 2 x em lights ground level and 3 x em lights upper level so if power cuts from upper shop fusebord lights the em lights will not come on! Are there any regs to say this is an incorrect way of installation?
