Supporting your inspection
In order to stay compliant, it's important that you complete routine checks of your emergency lighting in line with the manufacturer's guidance and recommended time period. The following can be completed daily, monthly, and yearly:
​
Daily:
Daily visual inspections should be made to establish that the system is in a ready state. This includes an inspection of the indicators of a central power supply system for correct operation and the indicators of combined luminaires.
Monthly:
If automatic testing is incorporated, results of the tests must be recorded monthly.
For manual systems, a functional test and various checks must be carried out to ensure that emergency lighting is present, clean and working competently in the event of failure to the normal lighting supply. For centrally supplied systems, the correct operation of system monitors and control relays are also checked and generator sets are tested to their manufacturer’s instructions.
Yearly:
Where automatic testing facilities are installed, a full rated duration test is carried out annually. All emergency luminaire including illuminated signs are tested in accordance with the manufacturer's information and several checks are made to ensure that there are adequate means of a test facility (key switch), and that emergency lighting is present, clean and functioning correctly.
Centrally supplied battery systems are also inspected annually to ensure that the cells are balanced in output voltage and that connections are secure. Generator sets are tested to their manufacturer’s instructions.
Before your inspection
In order for your inspection to be completed, we will need to have the relevant supporting documents. This includes diagrams, charts, escape route plans (showing fire alarm call points, firefighting equipment, signs, high risk areas, structural features and open areas) and your most recent inspection report.
