Frequently Asked Questions

How often should emergency lighting be tested?

BS 5266 requires a brief functional test monthly, a short duration test every 3 months, and a full rated duration test annually. Your logbook must record the results of every test.

Is emergency lighting testing a legal requirement?

Yes. The Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 requires that emergency lighting is maintained in efficient working order. The responsible person must ensure regular testing and record keeping.

What happens if emergency lighting fails the test?

Faulty luminaires must be repaired or replaced promptly. We identify all failures in our report and can advise on remedial works. Non-compliant emergency lighting is a serious fire safety risk.
