Frequently Asked Questions

Emergency lights should be checked and tested often.

Consequently tests should be performed on an Annual and monthly basis. Furthermore, depending on the type of system installed, daily checks may also be required. Ultimately all tests should be recorded and records kept in the emergency light log book.

For manual testing of emergency lights the following apply:

Monthly Test – Initially, the Monthly Test involves a short flick test to quickly verify that the emergency lights operate correctly.

Annual Test – Subsequently, the Annual Test typically lasts three hours to confirm that the emergency lights can sustain operation throughout the required time frame.

In the UK, the standard to work to is BS 5266-1; furthermore, it establishes the requirements for emergency lighting installation, maintenance, and testing.

Firstly, to comply with BS 5266-1, all tests must be documented and any faults should be reported and fixed promptly.

Furthermore, records should be kept in an on-site log book; this should include a site plan of emergency light locations, detailed testing records, and any failed or repaired items.

Firstly, emergency lights require both monthly and annual tests to guarantee reliable performance. Moreover, most emergency lighting installations feature key switches that allow the circuit to be temporarily deactivated for testing. Specifically, the monthly test should involve a flick test to verify the functionality of the luminaires, batteries, associated equipment, and switches. Finally, all test results must be recorded and maintained in an on-site log book for full compliance and traceability.

Testing emergency lights costs can vary from the size of the premises, the quantity of emergency lights and the type of equipment. An minimum price for a small premises would be – Monthly from £97.50 + VAT and Annual from £260 + VAT

Emergency exit lights must undergo regular testing the same as other types of emergency lights, to ensure they work reliably when needed. Below is a breakdown of the typical frequencies and why each is essential:

  • Annual Full-Duration Discharge Tests
    • Once every 12 months, carry out a three-hour discharge on each luminaire to verify battery capacity.
    • Subsequently, measure illumination levels along escape routes and record photometric readings.
    • Finally, issue a formal test report and certificate of conformity.
  • Daily or Weekly Visual Inspections (Optional)
    • Depending on your risk assessment, conduct quick daily or weekly walk-rounds to spot obvious damage or obstructions.
    • Furthermore, check for loose fittings, broken lenses, or drained batteries.
  • Post-Installation and Post-Repair Tests
    • Immediately after installing new units or completing repairs, perform both functional and discharge tests.
    • This ensures any faults are caught before handing the system back into service.

By combining these testing intervals, you maintain full compliance with BS 5266-1 and BS EN 50172, while guaranteeing your emergency exit lighting remains dependable day in, day out.

Firstly, a competent and appropriately trained person should carry out the monthly tests; furthermore, the same level of expertise is required for the annual testing to ensure consistency and compliance.
