At Ocean City Electrical, we provide professional emergency light testing for commercial properties across the region. Our qualified electricians ensure your emergency lighting systems meet all safety regulations and function properly during power outages or emergencies. Regular testing is a legal requirement for all commercial premises, helping to protect staff, customers, and assets in the event of an evacuation.
Emergency lighting should be tested monthly for functionality and annually for full duration in accordance with BS 5266 regulations. Ocean City Electrical can schedule routine inspections to ensure you stay compliant year-round without interruption to your business operations.
Emergency lighting should be tested monthly to confirm they operate correctly and annually for a full discharge test lasting the required duration, usually three hours. These checks are required under BS 5266 and The Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005.
For a full duration test, the mains power to the emergency lights is temporarily turned off to simulate a power failure. This allows the electrician to confirm the lights operate on battery backup for the full rated period.
If a light fails to illuminate or does not last the full duration, it must be repaired or replaced immediately. Our engineers will identify the fault, carry out the repair, and re-test the fitting to ensure compliance.
Emergency lighting must be tested by a competent and qualified person, such as an NICEIC-approved electrician. They understand the required standards and can issue the correct documentation.
Yes, Ocean City Electrical provides a detailed report and compliance certificate after every inspection. This serves as official proof your emergency lighting meets UK safety regulations.
