Emergency Lighting Testing
Routine testing of emergency luminaires and exit signs to BS 5266 / BS EN 50172—so people can evacuate safely and you stay compliant.
Keep Your Building Safe & Compliant with Expert Emergency Lighting Testing
Our engineers carry out scheduled monthly function tests and the annual 3-hour duration test for all emergency fittings and exit signage. We document every asset, record failures, and issue clear remedial advice—keeping you aligned with fire safety legislation and your insurance obligations.
Emergency Lighting Basics
Learn the essentials: maintained vs non-maintained, self-contained vs central battery, escape-route lighting, open-area (anti-panic) lighting, and high-risk task areas.
What We Test
Luminaires and exit signs, test key switches, central panels, chargers, batteries/LED drivers, indicators and legends—plus positioning and visibility checks on escape routes.
Overview
Comprehensive Emergency Lighting Testing for Safety and Compliance
Whether you manage offices, retail, schools, healthcare or industrial sites, our structured testing programme verifies that emergency lights operate when mains power fails and for their rated duration. We test, label, log and certify—then provide practical, prioritised remedials to close any gaps quickly.
Key-points
Visual Inspection
Each fitting, diffuser and legend checked for damage, cleanliness, correct symbols, and clear line-of-sight along escape routes.
Functional “Flick” Test (Monthly)
Simulate mains-failure via key switch/central test. Confirm each luminaire illuminates and charge indicators work. Record any failures.
Full Duration Test
Discharge test verifies batteries sustain illumination for the rated period. Identify weak batteries and end-of-life fittings.
Asset Register & Logbook
We create/update your laminated logbook and digital asset list with pass/fail status, locations, test dates and retest intervals.
