Emergency lighting testing in Swansea
In short: monthly function tests, annual duration tests and certificates. Where Swansea buildings have changed layout, the annual test is a good moment to check that routes are still properly covered.
Local emergency lighting testing in Swansea
Self-test fittings make monthly checks easier in Swansea buildings, but someone still needs to read the indicators and keep the log book.
Annual emergency lighting tests in Swansea are best booked for late afternoon or evening, so batteries can recharge overnight before people are back in.
For Swansea premises we plan works around opening hours, deliveries and shared access, which matters on mixed-use estates and high streets.
