Emergency light servicing ensures you can rely on your safety lighting when needed during a power cut. Emergency lighting is an requirement in most non-domestic premises to ensure emergency routes and exits are adequately illuminated at all times
British Standards 5266-8:2004 and EN 50172:2004 requires a monthly self-test, as well as an annual ‘drain’ maintenance test carried out by a service engineer, on all emergency lighting.With the monthly self-test, you switch off the mains power supply to the lighting units and ensure all emergency lights are working and illuminated. This is made easier by having a separate switch with ‘fish key’ installed in the system which means you haven’t got to switch off all power if the emergency lighting has no dedicated circuit. Record your results and contact us if you require the repair of any defects.
