In this video, we tackle the essential question: How should you carry out periodic tests for emergency lighting? Regular inspection and testing are vital to ensure emergency lighting functions reliably in a crisis, but outdated practices and common misconceptions can lead to ineffective procedures.

For example, while many believe that a 30-minute test is required every six months, modern standards show that this can shorten battery life and isn’t mandatory. Joe Robinson walks you through the current requirements from the Electrician’s Guide to Emergency Lighting, emphasising the importance of daily visual checks, monthly functional tests, and annual full-duration tests.

Understanding the difference between inspection and testing, and learning the proper frequency and methods for each, is key to maintaining compliance and ensuring safety. Part of our Robus training series, this video provides clear, up-to-date guidance for responsible persons and electricians alike, helping you meet legal standards and keep your emergency lighting fully operational.
