Emergency Lighting Servicing & Maintenance
Is your emergency lighting working correctly?
Emergency lighting must operate reliably when the normal lighting supply fails.
Without regular testing and maintenance, defective batteries or fittings may go unnoticed until an emergency occurs.
At Elron Fire & Security Ltd, we provide professional emergency lighting servicing, inspection and maintenance for businesses and commercial properties.
What Does an Emergency Lighting Service Include?
Depending on the system installed, our maintenance visits can include:
* Visual inspection of emergency lighting fittings
* Checks of illuminated exit signs
* Inspection of fitting condition and accessibility
* Functional testing of emergency lights
* Inspection of charging indicators where fitted
* Checks for damaged or defective fittings
* Assessment of battery backup operation
* Full-duration discharge testing where required
* Identification of defective batteries and components
* Recommendations for repairs or replacement
* Recording of test results and identified defects
* Appropriate emergency lighting maintenance documentation
The exact checks undertaken depend on the installation, system design and applicable maintenance requirements.
Already have emergency lighting installed? We can discuss taking over its ongoing testing and maintenance.
How Often Should Emergency Lighting Be Tested?
Emergency lighting requires regular inspection and testing to help ensure it remains operational.
For typical emergency escape lighting systems, BS EN 50172 provides recommendations for routine testing and maintenance.
Monthly Emergency Lighting Testing
A short functional test should generally be carried out monthly to check that emergency luminaires operate when the normal lighting supply is interrupted.
These tests should be recorded in the premises’ emergency lighting logbook.
Annual Emergency Lighting Duration Testing
A full-rated-duration test should generally be carried out at least annually to confirm that the emergency lighting system can operate for its required duration.
For a three-hour emergency lighting installation, this means verifying that the relevant fittings operate for their required three-hour period.
Testing should be planned carefully because batteries may need time to recharge after a full-duration discharge test.
Emergency Lighting Maintenance Contracts
We can discuss scheduled emergency lighting maintenance arrangements for businesses, landlords and commercial property managers.
These arrangements can include planned inspections, annual duration testing, servicing documentation and recommendations for remedial work.
Emergency Lighting Repairs & Replacement
Have you noticed a faulty emergency light or illuminated exit sign?
Emergency lighting faults can compromise the effectiveness of your building’s escape lighting arrangements.
Our engineers can investigate and advise on issues including:
* Emergency lights failing to illuminate
* Defective battery backup
* Failed charging indicators
* Damaged emergency lighting fittings
* Faulty illuminated exit signs
* Lights failing their duration test
* Ageing or unreliable emergency lighting equipment
* Replacement of unsuitable or obsolete fittings
Where necessary, we can recommend suitable replacement equipment and provide quotations for remedial work.

Emergency Lighting Regulations & British Standards
Emergency lighting is an important part of the fire safety arrangements within many commercial and multi-occupancy buildings.
Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, the responsible person for relevant premises must ensure that emergency routes and exits are provided with emergency lighting of adequate intensity where necessary.
Relevant standards and guidance include:
* BS 5266-1 – Emergency lighting: Code of practice for the emergency lighting of premises.
* BS EN 1838 – Lighting applications: Emergency lighting.
* BS EN 50172 – Emergency escape lighting systems, including inspection, testing and maintenance requirements.
* BS 7671 – Requirements for Electrical Installations.
The appropriate emergency lighting design depends on the building layout, occupancy, escape strategy and relevant fire risk assessment.
At Elron Fire & Security Ltd, we provide professional installation and maintenance services with reference to applicable requirements.
