Annual testing

Full-duration discharge test.

A planned annual test checks that emergency luminaires operate for their required rated duration following failure of the normal lighting supply.

Important: Many premises use 3-hour emergency fittings, but the required duration depends on the system and premises. We test against the applicable requirement rather than assuming every installation is identical.

Typical annual test scope

Identify and visually inspect emergency luminaires and exit signs
Simulate failure of the normal lighting supply
Confirm luminaires illuminate correctly
Run the system for the required test duration
Record failed fittings, batteries, lamps/LED modules or signs
Record results and provide a defect/action schedule
Quote remedial works when requested

Monthly testing

Short functional checks.

A monthly function test is intended to confirm that emergency lighting operates when the normal supply is interrupted, without fully discharging the batteries.

Operate test key / test facility where provided
Confirm each relevant fitting changes to emergency operation
Check indicators and obvious physical damage
Record failures and abnormalities
Update the site logbook / maintenance record

Inspection points

More than “does the green light come on?”

A charging indicator alone does not prove a fitting will deliver useful emergency illumination for the required duration.

VISUAL

Condition

Damage, missing diffusers, obscured signs, incorrect legends and obvious deterioration are recorded.

FUNCTION

Operation

We confirm the fitting switches into emergency mode when the normal supply is simulated as failed.

DURATION

Battery performance

Annual full-duration testing checks whether emergency operation is maintained for the required period.
