Emergency lighting testing in Winchester
In short: monthly function tests, annual duration tests and certificates. Self-test fittings make monthly checks easier in Winchester buildings, but someone still needs to read the indicators and keep the log book.

Winchester FAQs

Fire safety duties come from the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005. For new lighting, Approved Document L sets the energy efficiency requirements. We design and certify work to BS 7671 and, for emergency lighting, BS 5266-1.
Can you work out of hours in Winchester?
Yes. Evening, weekend and phased working is common for Winchester offices, shops and warehouses, so the business keeps running.
How quickly can you survey in Winchester?
Most surveys in Winchester can be booked within a few working days. Tell us about any deadlines, such as a lease end or a fire risk assessment action, and we will try to fit around them.
Can we do the monthly tests ourselves?
Yes. A trained, competent person can do the monthly flick test and record it. Many businesses do this in-house and bring us in for the annual test and repairs.
