Why Test Your Emergency Lighting System?
Emergency lighting is an essential safety feature in all buildings, and it is the responsibility of the building owner or manager to ensure that it is regularly tested and maintained. In the UK, the standard for emergency lighting is BS 5266-1, which specifies the requirements for the design, installation, commissioning, and maintenance of emergency lighting systems.
Testing of emergency lighting is required to be carried out at least once a month, and a full-duration test must be carried out annually. These tests should be conducted during normal working hours, and a record of the test results should be kept on file. The test should include visual inspections of all emergency lighting units, including checking that they are clean and free from damage, that they are securely fixed in place, and that they are not obscured by other objects. The test should also include a full-duration test to ensure that the emergency lighting will work for at least the required duration in the event of a power failure.
During these tests, it is also important to check that the emergency lighting is properly connected to the building's mains power supply, that the battery backup is functioning correctly and that the emergency lighting is properly connected to the fire alarm system, if applicable. It is also important to make sure that all emergency lighting units are properly labelled and that the emergency lighting plans are clearly visible and up-to-date.
In addition to regular testing, it is also important to carry out regular maintenance of emergency lighting systems. This includes replacing any faulty units, cleaning and checking batteries, and ensuring that the system is connected to the correct power source. It is also important to check that the emergency lighting is properly connected to the building's mains power supply, that the battery backup is functioning correctly and that the emergency lighting is properly connected to the fire alarm system, if applicable.
It is also important to note that in case of any emergency, all emergency lighting must be clearly visible, and easily accessible. This means that emergency lighting should be installed in all exits, stairways, corridors and other areas where people may need to evacuate the building.
Regular testing, maintenance and inspection of emergency lighting systems is crucial to ensure that the building is safe for occupants in the event of an emergency. Building owners and managers must ensure that they are following the guidelines set out in BS 5266-1 and that they are carrying out regular testing and maintenance of their emergency lighting systems. In the event of an emergency, well-maintained and properly functioning emergency lighting can be the difference between life and death.
