What Is a Emergency Lighting Certificate?

Emergency lighting provides illumination along escape routes and in key areas when the normal lighting fails due to a power cut or fire. An Emergency Lighting Certificate is issued after a qualified engineer tests all emergency luminaires to verify they activate correctly, provide adequate illumination, and maintain their rated battery duration (typically 3 hours). Testing covers both maintained and non-maintained fittings.

✓Function test of each emergency luminaire
✓Battery condition and charge level assessment

Fire Risk Assessments commonly identify emergency lighting as a requirement. BS 5266 specifies that emergency lighting systems must be tested monthly (function test) and annually (full rated duration test). The annual test must be documented and certified.
