The Legal Requirement
Where necessary to safeguard people, emergency routes and exits requiring artificial illumination must be provided with emergency lighting of adequate intensity in case the normal lighting fails (e.g. during a fire). Where there are defined escape routes, the relevant parts of BS5266 now require a luminance level of one lux on the centre line of the escape route.
Morgan Fire Protection can advise you on the extent of protection your business requires from emergency lighting to meet the required standard.
Installation & servicing
Fully qualified technicians will carry out a controlled test of your emergency lights. This can be conveniently and cost effectively carried out at the same time as fire alarm maintenance.
Emergency lighting testing and servicing is carried out in accordance with BS5266 2016. Routine inspection and tests should be carried out at a time when the risk is a minimum. Users with a test switch should carry out a monthly test and the results of short duration tests recorded.
Technicians wear branded workwear and carry identification. They will liaise on site so you are aware of the work that has been carried out and any remedial work that is recommended. Remedial work requires customer authorisation before it is carried out.
