Testing & Maintenance
We test and maintain existing emergency lighting systems, help you track faults and keep a clear record of completed checks. Testing is planned with the person responsible for the premises so it fits the building, operating hours and safety arrangements.
Duration testing
Check operation for the system’s rated duration and identify batteries or fittings needing attention.
Faults and records
Log failures and agree corrective actions so site records remain useful and current.

Routine tests and records
The responsible person’s routine checks are distinct from a contractor maintenance visit. We can support scheduled system testing, assess reported failures, record results and advise on repairs or replacement where needed.
How often are tests due?
BS 5266-1:2025 recommends a functional test at least monthly and a full rated-duration test at least annually. Monthly checks are normally arranged by the premises’ responsible person; a competent contractor can carry out or support the annual duration test and any technical investigation or repair.
Planning around the site
Before a full-duration test, we agree timing and safety arrangements with the site contact. Where the test could affect safe occupancy, we plan it for a suitable period and record any fittings that fail to operate or maintain their rated duration.
