Shine Forms 2026.5.1861: Job Numbers & Emergency Lighting Corrections

• Shine Forms Team

This maintenance update for the 2026.5 series adds optional job numbers to certificates and corrects a number of references and typos in the new BS 5266‑1:2025 emergency lighting forms.

Optional Job Numbers

You can now record an optional job number against a certificate. The field is entirely optional, so if you don’t use job numbers nothing changes for you — but if you do, you now have a dedicated place to store the reference and search on it.

Emergency Lighting BS 5266‑1:2025 Corrections

Following the release of our BS 5266‑1:2025 emergency lighting forms, we have corrected several standards references and wording issues across the ELI, ELS and ELL 2025 forms:
