Emergency lighting testing in Comrie

In short: monthly function tests, annual duration tests and certificates. Where Comrie buildings have changed layout, the annual test is a good moment to check that routes are still properly covered.

Local emergency lighting testing in Comrie

Many Comrie businesses do their own monthly flick tests and bring us in for the annual three-hour test, repairs and the certificate.

Self-test fittings make monthly checks easier in Comrie buildings, but someone still needs to read the indicators and keep the log book.

For Comrie premises we plan works around opening hours, deliveries and shared access, which matters on mixed-use estates and high streets.
