If you're responsible for the maintenance of an emergency lighting system, it's important to understand what's expected and why regular testing matters. Below are answers to some of the questions we're most often asked by building owners, facilities managers and responsible persons.
1. Why is emergency lighting maintenance important?
Emergency lighting provides vital illumination if mains power is lost, allowing occupants to identify escape routes safely. Routine maintenance helps ensure the system performs correctly during an emergency while supporting compliance with current fire safety legislation and BS 5266.
2. How often should emergency lighting be serviced?
Monthly function tests and an annual inspection are standard requirements under UK law to keep systems operational and compliant.
3. What is included in an emergency lighting maintenance visit?
Our engineers carry out functional testing, inspect emergency luminaires, assess battery performance, check charging equipment, identify faults and complete maintenance records to support your compliance documentation.
4. What happens if faults are identified during maintenance?
If defects are found, we will explain the issues clearly and provide practical recommendations to help restore the emergency lighting system to full operational condition as efficiently as possible.
5. Is it a legal requirement to maintain my emergency lighting system?
Where emergency lighting has been installed and deemed 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.
