The key purpose of emergency lighting is that, in the event of a fire or mains electrical failure, all emergency lighting including exit signs will remain fully functional for the duration required, enabling people to safely evacuate the premises as needed.
Testing of emergency lighting not only tests to ensure that the lighting is working correctly with no faults, but also that all lighting and exit signs comply with current legislation.
By keeping up with a regular program of inspection and testing by a qualified engineer, businesses can feel secure in the knowledge that their emergency lighting system is safe and effective in case of emergency. Those in charge of the property or place of work should also regularly check over the lighting systems themselves in between their annual full system inspection in order to check for any signs of damage to the luminaires.
Emergency lighting is a legal requirement wherever artificial lighting has been installed, specifically in areas of a property that may be subject to higher risk in the event of an emergency evacuation. Emergency lighting is required in:
Escape routesAreas of special riskOpen areas greater than 60 square metresWithin close proximity to stairways (adequate to provide direct light to all treads)At any change of directionAt any change in floor levelNear to corridors and intersectionsNear to fire safety equipmentNear to first aid pointsOutside every exit point
