Emergency Lighting Testing – Frequently Asked Questions
How often do I need emergency lighting testing?
Emergency lighting must be tested monthly (functional test) and annually (full 3‑hour duration test) under BS5266 and the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005. The annual test must be carried out by a competent person, and a certificate must be issued.

If any emergency light fails the duration or functional test, it is marked as non‑compliant. You will receive:
-
A list of failed fittings
-
Photos of defects
-
A remedial quote for repair or replacement Until fixed, the building is not fully compliant with fire safety law.
Do you replace faulty fittings?
Yes. We can replace:

Batteries
-
LED modules All replacements are done to BS5266 standards, and we update your logbook after completion.
Do I need a logbook?
Yes. Every premises must have a fire safety logbook that records:
-
Monthly functional tests
-
Annual duration tests
-
Remedials
-
Certificates If you don’t have one, we can supply a new logbook and start it from scratch.
