Understanding how emergency lighting should be maintained helps you keep your building compliant and your occupants protected. Below you'll find answers to some of the most common questions about emergency lighting maintenance.
1. Can you maintain emergency lighting in warehouses, retail parks and office buildings?
Yes. We can work with industrial premises, warehouses, retail units, offices, schools, healthcare facilities, apartment buildings and many other occupied properties, tailoring our maintenance service to suit the specific needs of each building.
2. 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 documentation to support your compliance records.
3. What happens if faults are found during testing?
If defects are identified, we'll clearly explain the issues and provide practical recommendations to help restore your emergency lighting system to full operational condition as efficiently as possible.
4. 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 maintain the system 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 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 the overall attendance time will vary depending on the size of the premises and the number of emergency lighting fittings installed.
