Understanding Emergency & Escape Route Lighting
What is emergency and escape route lighting?
Emergency and escape route lighting provides visibility in emergencies, such as fires, where the main power supply and any normal illumination fail. Emergency and escape route lighting automatically operates and provides illumination to highlight areas for safe evacuation.

The Importance of Emergency & Escape Route Lighting Testing
The professional testing, servicing and maintenance of emergency and escape route lighting systems is mandatory under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005. This legislation, as well as several health and safety regulations applying to duty holders, requires the regular testing and maintenance of emergency lighting systems.
We complete emergency lighting maintenance, servicing and testing for commercial and industrial clients, thoroughly inspecting your emergency lighting systems for issues. Failing to conduct regular inspections could result in legal consequences, including liability for breaches of the law. Contact us to stay compliant and safe by scheduling our services today.
Legal Compliance For Emergency Lighting
Building owners and employers are legally obligated to ensure that effective emergency lighting systems are in place. This obligation is governed by several regulations including the Health and Safety at Work Act 1974 and the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 (RRO).
In addition to legal obligations, compliance with British Standards such as BS EN 50172:2004 and BS 5266-8:2004 is crucial. These standards outline the minimum requirements for the inspection and testing of emergency escape lighting systems and ensure that your system is functional and meets safety standards.
Duty holders are also required to maintain their emergency lighting systems following BS 5266-1:2016, the Code of Practice for the Emergency Lighting of Premises. Regular inspections and testing are necessary to ensure the system is working correctly and complies with all applicable regulations.
