Emergency Lighting Servicing Bradford
Emergency lighting systems are a critical part of fire safety, providing essential visibility when normal lighting fails. However, simply installing a system is not enough. To remain effective, emergency lighting must be regularly tested and maintained to ensure it operates correctly in an emergency.
Complete Fire Solutions provides expert emergency lighting servicing in Bradford, helping businesses and property owners keep their systems compliant, reliable and ready to perform when required.
Legal Requirements for Emergency Lighting Maintenance
Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, responsible persons must ensure that emergency lighting systems are properly maintained and in full working order at all times. Failing to meet these requirements can lead to increased risk as well as potential legal consequences.
Routine servicing helps to identify issues early, extend the lifespan of your system and ensure your premises remain safe for occupants.
Emergency Lighting Testing Schedule
To maintain compliance, emergency lighting systems must be tested at regular intervals. These checks confirm that the system will function as expected in the event of a power failure.
Daily Visual Checks
A simple visual inspection should be carried out each day to confirm that the system’s indicator light is showing. This ensures the unit is receiving power and is ready for operation.
Monthly Function Test
Each month, the emergency lighting should be tested by activating the test function or isolating the power supply briefly. This confirms that the lights switch on and provide sufficient illumination.
Six Monthly Test
A longer test should be completed every six months to check that the system continues to operate correctly over an extended period.
Annual Full Duration Test
An annual test is required to ensure that the lighting system can operate for the full rated duration of its battery. This is one of the most important checks for verifying overall system performance.
