Emergency Lighting Tests
Emergency lighting (EL) is an essential safety feature in any building, designed to provide light in the event of a power outage or emergency. It’s imperative that these systems are carefully maintained and regularly tested.
Why Are Emergency Lighting Tests Required?
UK fire regulations stipulate that your emergency lights should be turned on and off each month, to test that they are both working properly and effective.
The latest British Standard recommends that you have a 3-hour emergency lighting test once a year, during which your main light circuit should be switched off and your emergency lights left on for a 3 hour period to find out of any batteries need replacing. Regulations dictate that in addition to this testing, your system needs a full professional service every year.
Maintenance, Service and Repairs
Stellar Compliance tests, maintains, services and repairs essential Emergency Lighting systems, and we ensure compliance with UK standards set out in BS 5266, BS EN 50172 and The Health and Safety Regulations 1996.
In accordance with BS5266 your EL system should have an up-to-date logbook, detailed with the type of system in use and its events and checks history. Stellar Compliance will supply a comprehensive asset register that fully details the type of emergency lighting system installed, the location of each fitting and whether the fittings pass or fail the illumination or duration tests.
Complete EL Testing Reports
Once the initial inspection is completed, we will provide a full written report on the condition of the system and if any defects or non-conformances were recorded.
We will also provide a detailed cost summary to rectify the faults for your consideration. Contact us today to schedule your emergency lighting maintenance and testing and receive detailed reports with recommendations for your emergency lighting system.
