Installation, Inspection and Certification for Emergency Lighting
Emergency lighting is essential for safeguarding people in your building during power failures or emergencies when regular lighting failures. In these sudden moments of darkness, the risks to staff and customers rise dramatically – which is why ensuring your premises has functional emergency lighting is crucial in enabling safe evacuation.
At Electric Test Midlands, we share business’ commitments to ensuring safety and compliance. With our comprehensive emergency light testing and maintenance services, we’ll guarantee that your systems remain fully operational at all times, in full compliance with all electrical lighting testing requirements.
Checking Emergency Lighting Compliance Without Compromise
We provide a complete range of emergency lighting inspection plans, customised to meet the unique needs of your building and business. Whether you require new installations, routine testing and maintenance, our team is here to help.
Design and installation
Our experienced engineers work closely with you to design and install bespoke emergency lighting solutions that comply with all relevant safety standards and regulations. We ensure the system is tailored to your premises, covering all required areas like exit routes, stairways, and hallways for complete safety during emergencies.
Annual inspection and testing
We recommend performing emergency lighting testing every 12 months to align with legal mandates and insurance requirements. Our skilled engineers will carry out thorough emergency lighting inspections, including testing of each fixture and its backup system. We check whether each light illuminates properly, battery life is sufficient and lights will remain functional for the required duration during a power failure.
Emergency lighting testing certification
Following our tests, we provide a detailed emergency lighting test certificate that documents compliance with all applicable safety regulations. This certificate is vital for proving that your system meets industry standards and ensures that your business complies with legal obligations.
Emergency Lighting Checks and Procedures
Our engineers conduct thorough testing in compliance with UK regulations and industry standards, assessing the performance and reliability of your systems.
- Luminaire duration testing – We simulate power cuts to assess whether your emergency lighting fixtures perform for the required duration (usually 3 hours for most systems).
- Battery functionality checks – We ensure that all batteries are in good working condition and will last throughout an emergency.
- Complete cleaning of diffusers – To maximise light output and efficiency, we clean all diffusers regularly as part of our maintenance service.
Test results and log books
We provide detailed test results and customised log books upon request. These logs make it easy to track the performance and maintenance history of your system. We will also offer simple, easy-to-follow instructions for monthly emergency light tests that your staff can self-perform in between our professional checks.
Why Does Your Business Need Emergency Lighting Checks
Regular exit light testing and maintenance of your emergency lighting system is vital for the continued safety of your staff and customers. Not only does it help with compliance, but it also ensures your building is well lit during day-to-day operations, preventing accidents and providing crucial guidance during an emergency evacuation.
