What is emergency lighting?

Understanding Emergency Lighting For Your Premises

If a fire or emergency occurs that causes the power supply and normal illumination to fail on your premises, emergency lighting is designed to provide reliable visibility. Emergency lighting highlights safe exit routes and more to ensure all building occupants can safely evacuate.

At PST Group Ltd, we provide emergency light testing for commercial and residential clients to ensure the emergency light batteries are functioning and that they will last the duration of the test (usually 3 hours). We will also check the general condition of the light fittings to ensure they are up to standard.

Our emergency light testing services include:

  • Exit Signs
  • Emergency Stairwell Lighting
  • Emergency Corridor Lighting
  • Escape Route Markers & Path Lighting
  • Emergency Spotlights
  • Fire Exit Door Lights
  • Back-Up Lighting
  • Low-Level Escape Lighting

Is emergency light testing a legal requirement?

The Health and Safety at Work Act 1974 and the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 (RRO)state that emergency light testing is mandatory for a range of premises. Organising emergency light testing is the responsibility of duty holders, building owners, employers and Responsible Persons (RPs). Additionally, British Standards such as BS EN 50172:2004 and BS 5266-8:2004 require emergency light testing to be completed for compliance.

These standards outline the minimum requirements for the testing of emergency lighting systems and ensure that your system is reliable and meets safety standards. Duty holders are also required to maintain their emergency lighting systems following BS 5266-1:2016, the Code of Practice for the Emergency Lighting of Premises. Failing to carry out emergency light testing could lead to legal consequences, including liability for breaches of the law and significant fines. Contact us for your FREE consultation!

  • Cost-Effective
    Emergency light testing can save money in the long-run as it gives you the chance to address problems before they escalate into more expensive issues.
