If you're responsible for managing a building, understanding how emergency lighting should be inspected and maintained is an important part of your fire safety duties. Below are answers to some of the questions we're most frequently asked about emergency lighting maintenance and testing.
1. How long does annual emergency lighting testing take?
Annual testing requires the emergency lighting system to operate on battery power for a three-hour discharge period in accordance with BS 5266. Including setup, inspection and reporting, testing generally takes a minimum of around three and a half hours, although larger or more complex installations may require additional time depending on the size of the premises.
2. 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.
3. What happens if faults are identified during testing?
If defects are found, we'll explain the issues clearly and provide practical recommendations to help restore the emergency lighting system to full operational condition as efficiently as possible.
4. Can you maintain emergency lighting in mixed-use residential developments?
Yes. We can work with apartment buildings, offices, retail premises, schools, healthcare facilities, hospitality venues and many other occupied buildings, tailoring our maintenance service to suit the specific requirements of each property.
5. 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 any faults and complete maintenance documentation to support your compliance records.
