Emergency Lighting Regulations
We offer professional fire alarm installation across North London by certified engineers.
Understanding UK Emergency Lighting Standards
Emergency lighting in the UK must follow strict regulations like BS 5266 and the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005. These ensure all non-domestic buildings have reliable lighting to guide occupants safely during a power failure. Regular testing and proper installation are essential to stay compliant.
Key Requirements for Emergency Light Testing
Regulations require monthly checks and annual full-duration discharge tests to confirm your emergency lights work when needed. Failing to maintain these systems can result in legal penalties and, more importantly, put people at risk during an emergency.
