Emergency Light Testing

Emergency lighting is very important to ensure safety in the event of a power cut or fire. It is designed to illuminate escape routes such as hallways, stairways and exits along with key points such as extinguisher locations.  It's recommended that regular servicing of emergency lighting systems is carried out to ensure that they are kept in a good working order should you need to rely on them. This involves the users undertaking basic inspections as well as a competent person annually testing and inspecting the light units and making any necessary repairs.

At Worcester PAT Testing LTD we are experienced at testing and maintaining emergency lights to BS5266 to make sure you are never left in the dark in the event of an emergency. Emergency lights run on a battery and the unit is triggered to come on when there is no power on the lighting circuit. Over time these batteries can degrade and eventually stop working which can be hazardous if the power is lost. For each light unit, we test that it illuminates and that the batteries are capable of powering the unit for 3 hours and once power is restored we check the batteries recharge.
