Emergency lighting testing FAQs for Warwickshire

How are prices set in Warwickshire?

Our guide prices are adjusted for regional labour costs. After a survey you get a fixed price for the agreed scope.

Which fire safety law applies in Warwickshire?

The Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 sets the duties of the person responsible for fire safety, including emergency lighting where escape routes need it.

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.
