Emergency Lighting FAQs for Whitstable
Answers to Common Maintenance Questions
If you're responsible for emergency lighting within your building, understanding how it should be maintained is an important part of protecting occupants and meeting your legal responsibilities.
1. What if an issue is found during testing?
If a defect is identified, we'll explain the problem clearly and provide practical recommendations to help restore your emergency lighting system to full working order as quickly as possible.
2. Does emergency lighting have to be maintained by law?
Where emergency lighting has been installed following a fire risk assessment, it must be maintained in an efficient state, in efficient working order and in good repair. Routine maintenance helps support compliance with the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005.
3. How long does the annual maintenance test take?
The full annual test requires the emergency lighting system to operate on battery power for three hours. Including preparation, inspection and reporting, attendance usually lasts at least three and a half hours, although larger buildings may require additional time depending on the size of the installation.
4. How can routine maintenance improve emergency lighting reliability?
Regular inspections help identify worn batteries, damaged luminaires and other faults before they affect system performance. This helps ensure emergency lighting is ready to operate if mains lighting fails.
5. What testing should emergency lighting receive each year?
Emergency lighting should undergo monthly function tests and an annual three-hour discharge test in accordance with BS 5266. Together, these checks help confirm the system remains fully operational.
