Section 8: Record of Emergency Lighting Testing & Maintenance
The emergency lighting should be checked monthly by a competent person to ensure it functions correctly. This may be carried out by purpose made test
switches that will require a specific key or by isolating the local lighting sub-circuit. It is important the lighting works when the local lighting circuit fails and does
not rely on the failure of the overall circuit.
The system should be serviced annually by suitably qualified engineers. Further advice can be gained from BS 5266 Pt 1
