What is involved in Emergency Lighting Testing?
Emergency Lighting Testing and Inspection. Is it a Legal Requirement?
All Employers, Landlords or Occupiers have a duty under the “Fire Precaution (Workplace) Regulations 1999” to carry out a risk assessment to ensure their premises and activities are able to facilitate safe escape in the event of an emergency.
Emergency lighting is required in all premises where people are employed. It is a Life Safety System and is required to assist the occupants in the event of an emergency. It will assist in the evacuation of a premises in the event of power failure..
It is a mandatory requirement to be installed where artificial lighting is installed and the Emergency Lighting British Standard BS5266 defines the requirements for the correct installation of Emergency Lighting. Compliance with this standard will ensure that your premises, meets the requirements of the Fire Precaution (Workplace) Regulations..
How Often Should Emergency Lights Be Tested?
There are two types of test required for emergency lighting, and both of them need to be routinely carried out.
Monthly tests should cover the basic functionality of the emergency lighting. This means that although thorough they only need to be short in duration.
Annual tests should switch on all emergency lighting for its full minimum duration, ie. the minimum length of time it can stay on in the event of a power outage, under UK law this is three hours.
