What is a Emergency Lighting certificate?
Emergency lighting guides people safely out of a building when the mains power fails. We inspect and test the emergency lighting on your escape routes and communal areas, confirm that fittings illuminate for the required duration, and issue a compliant certificate for your fire safety records.
Why it's worth getting right
In a power cut or fire, dark stairwells and corridors are deadly. Properly maintained emergency lighting is a core part of fire safety in HMOs and blocks, is checked by fire officers and councils, and is essential evidence that escape routes remain usable in an emergency.
Standards and your duties
Emergency lighting forms part of your fire safety obligations under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, with systems designed, installed and maintained in line with BS 5266. Regular function tests and an annual full-duration test are expected, and records must be kept. Inadequate emergency lighting is a common finding in fire risk assessments and HMO inspections.
