At UK PAT, we provide thorough emergency lighting testing across London, Surrey, and the South East. Emergency lighting is essential for ensuring safe illumination during power failures and outages.
Fire safety regulations require that all exit routes be properly illuminated and marked with the correct signage. Our emergency lighting tests generate a certificate confirming that your system is functioning correctly, helping to demonstrate legal compliance and ensure the safety of your building.
Testing emergency lights is essential for maintaining safety and preparedness in any facility. Adhering to the testing schedule outlined in BS 5266 ensures any issues are identified early, keeping your emergency lighting in optimal working condition. Whether managing an office, hospital, or public venue, ensuring the reliability of emergency lighting is crucial for the safety of occupants and compliance with safety regulations.

Do you need Emergency Lighting Testing?
Is your emergency lighting compliant with legal requirements? Thorough testing is essential to ensure your system meets safety standards, especially in emergencies when the main power supply fails. Emergency lighting plays a critical role in guiding people to safety, and it is vital that it is always operational. Regular testing, including obtaining an emergency lighting test certificate, confirms that your system is working correctly.
To guarantee continuous functionality, you should work with a professional emergency lighting testing company like UK PAT. The system must be tested to check its operation and ensure it functions for the required duration. These tests verify compliance with safety regulations and ensure the system is reliable during an emergency.
What does Emergency Lighting Testing cover?
Our team offers comprehensive emergency lighting testing across London and the South East. Our services include everything from one-off visits to ongoing monthly or annual inspections, ensuring that your emergency lighting system always remains fully compliant and operational.
Monthly Emergency Lighting Tests
A responsible person must conduct emergency light testing every month. We simulate a power outage by turning off the mains supply to ensure the emergency lighting activates correctly.
Our inspection includes checking all equipment for damage, verifying each luminaire is charging after power is restored, and maintaining a monthly logbook to track results and repairs. This systematic check ensures all lights are functioning properly.
Annual Emergency Lighting Tests
In addition to monthly tests, an annual, more thorough inspection is crucial. This includes a duration test to ensure emergency lights remain bright for the required period (typically three hours). We also inspect the lighting circuit and verify that shut-down procedures are in place for each unit. Our annual testing can be scheduled during weekends or evenings to minimise disruption to your business.
What is checked?
We check key areas such as escape routes, stairways, emergency escape signs, and fire equipment to ensure proper illumination. Our testing will reveal any issues, including faulty lights or areas that need better coverage, ensuring compliance with BS 5266 standards.
