Emergency Lighting Testing & Certification

Emergency Lighting Testing

Overview

Emergency Lighting Testing

Emergency lighting is a critical safety system designed to guide occupants to safety during power failures, fires, or emergencies. At PAT Testing Wales, we provide comprehensive emergency lighting testing services to ensure your building meets legal requirements, remains fully functional, and keeps staff and visitors protected at all times. From routine inspections to full compliance testing, we deliver reliable, professional support tailored to your premises.

Understanding Emergency Lighting Testing

Emergency lighting testing ensures that all emergency luminaires operate correctly when normal lighting fails. This process checks not only whether the lights function, but also whether they remain illuminated for the required duration, comply with British Standards, and are correctly positioned to support safe evacuation.

1. Functional Testing

We perform a short-duration test to ensure every emergency luminaire activates correctly when the main power supply is disconnected.

2. Duration Testing

A full-rated test is conducted to confirm that emergency lighting remains illuminated for its designated duration—typically three hours—meeting compliance standards.

3. Visual Inspection of Luminaires

Our engineers check for physical damage, obstructions, incorrect installation, and any issues that may affect performance or visibility.

4. Logbook Updates & Reporting

We update your emergency lighting logbook and provide a detailed test report, giving you clear documentation for audits and compliance checks.
