FAQs About Ashford Emergency Lighting Maintenance
For answers to commonly asked emergency lighting maintenance questions, read below.
1. What happens during an emergency lighting maintenance visit?
Our engineers carry out functional testing, inspect emergency luminaires, assess battery performance, check charging equipment, identify any faults and complete the appropriate maintenance documentation to support your compliance records.
2. Can you maintain emergency lighting in large commercial buildings?
Yes. We can work with offices, warehouses, industrial premises, educational establishments, healthcare facilities, apartment buildings and many other commercial or public sector properties, tailoring our maintenance to suit each building.
3. What if my emergency lighting system doesn't pass testing?
If faults are identified, we will clearly explain the issues, advise on the most appropriate remedial actions and help you restore your emergency lighting system to full working order as quickly as possible.
4. Is emergency lighting maintenance a legal requirement?
Where emergency lighting has been installed and identified as necessary through the fire risk assessment, legislation requires it to be maintained in an efficient state, in efficient working order and in good repair. Failure to do so may result in non-compliance with the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005.
5. How long does annual emergency lighting testing take?
Annual testing requires emergency lighting systems to operate on battery power for a three-hour discharge period in accordance with BS 5266. Including setup, inspection and reporting, most visits take a minimum of around three and a half hours, although larger premises with more emergency lighting fittings will require additional time.
