Emergency & Exit Lighting

At Safegard Security, we are able to service, test and maintain your emergency lighting system in your commercial premises.

Emergency lighting, where fitted, must be tested and inspected in accordance with BS5266, which outlines that emergency and exit lighting must be tested monthly and annually-

Monthly tests are often carried out by premises staff, and consist of briefly removing the power to the emergency lights and ensuring that they illuminate, and then reinstating the power. Records of tests and their results must be kept.

Annually, the emergency lights must be subject to a full-duration test (typically 3 hours) to ensure that in the event of an emergency, the lights would operate for their intended full duration. The lights must be operational at the end of this test.

Safegard security are able to offer a fully tailored emergency and exit lighting test package for your business to ensure compliance, and are also able to offer repair and replacement emergency lighting units as required.
