Just to note you can use one of the terminals in the double pole switch to terminate both neutrals cables in , there are also 2 way switches with a neutral terminal on them . I think hager make them
 
I guess I am, I have 2330 level 2 & level 3.
2391 and 17th but didn’t get a lot of work so went back to engineering but now taken a job in maintenance but wasn’t sure about emergency lighting so giving an example of this lighting issue as I have a problem with it on the stairs at work. Just need to understand how it’s wired correctly
 
This is what I came up with
Electrically fine and would work as expected.
However the testing of the emergency lights should not affect the normal lighting (Strima's post #17) and in your diagram the normal lighting would be switched off when you are testing, this is very useful to the tester for checking EM lights as they will be the only ones on, but would cause major inconvenience in a large enclosed office block relying on the lighting.
