Emergency Lighting Testing & Maintenance

Keep Your Documentation Complete & Your Premises Compliant

Installing emergency lighting is only the starting point. Under BS 5266 and BS EN 50172, emergency lighting systems must be tested regularly to confirm they will function correctly when needed. This includes monthly functional tests and an annual three-hour full duration test, with all results recorded in a logbook.

We carry out ongoing emergency lighting testing for commercial clients, landlords and managing agents across Oxfordshire. Testing is scheduled around your operating hours to avoid disruption, with all results documented, any remedial work quoted clearly, and compliance paperwork provided so your records are always complete.

Our Emergency Lighting Services FAQs

Under BS 5266 and BS EN 50172, emergency lighting systems require a monthly functional test to confirm the luminaires activate correctly, and an annual three-hour full duration test to verify they will run for the required period.

All testing should be documented in an emergency lighting logbook and made available for inspection.
