Why do I need Emergency Lighting Testing?
The Fire Safety Act 2021 has replaced the Fire Precautions (Workplace Regulations 1997 require that appropriate testing is performed to maintain compliance with the system. The system should include adequate facilities for testing and recording the system condition.
A ‘full discharge test’ should be carried out annually. This process entails activating the emergency lights and leaving them on until the batteries are fully discharged.
At least once a year a suitably qualified service engineer should check the entire emergency lighting system, including discharge for the full specified duration of your units. Maintained emergency units should last for 3 hours, and non-maintained units for 2 hours.
The testing schedule is in accordance with BS EN 50172:2004 / BS5266-8:2004, 7.2.3, BS 5266-8:2004, 7.2.4 and BS5266-1:2016 clause 12.
Annual Emergency Lighting Tests
This is a Legal Requirement!
A test for the full rated duration of the emergency lights (e.g. 3 hours) must be carried out. The emergency lights must still be working at the end of this test.
The result must be recorded and, if failures are detected, these must be remedied as soon as possible.
