How Often Does Emergency Lighting Need To Be Checked?
You should carry out monthly tests and annual tests.
Monthly emergency lighting test
You must test all emergency lighting systems each month.
Check that emergency lights and signs are clean and in working order.
The test needs to be long enough to check that the lights are working properly.
You must record your results and have any issues fixed ASAP.
Annual emergency lighting test
once a year, you must drain your emergency lights fully—that is, leave them on for their full battery life (this might be one hour, three hours etc.). The lights should stay on for that entire time.
Switch off the main electricity supply.
Check all the lights. They must still be working at the end of the test.
Record results and fix any issues ASAP.
Switch the mains back on.
