Emergency lighting testing FAQs for Buckinghamshire
How are prices set in Buckinghamshire?
Our guide prices are adjusted for regional labour costs. After a survey you get a fixed price for the agreed scope.
What energy rules apply to new lighting in Buckinghamshire?
Approved Document L sets the efficiency that new lighting in Buckinghamshire must meet. We check fittings against it at design stage and keep the evidence for building control.
How often should emergency lighting be tested?
A brief functional test monthly and a full rated-duration test once a year, with results recorded. BS EN 50172:2024 also calls for illuminance measurement at five-year intervals.
Why is the annual test done out of hours?
After a full-duration test the batteries need time to recharge, so the building is less protected for a while. Testing at the end of the day avoids that risk while people are inside.
