With regard to routine inspections and tests, BS 5266-1:2016 states that the emergency lighting systems should be inspected and tested at regular intervals in accordance with BS EN 50172 and where a functional operation should be checked at least every month. The testing of full rated duration should be performed on each emergency luminaire at least annually.

: The term ‘battery’ is used to describe a chemical device two or more cells which has the ability to store chemical energy and is converted into Direct Current. Whilst everyone calls this a ‘battery’, its correct term is in fact a ‘cell’.

There are basically two different types of batteries, a Primary Battery, which is not rechargeable and a Secondary Battery, which is rechargeable.

The types of rechargeable cells used for emergency lighting are:

NICKEL CADMIUM = Ni-Cd (Ni-Cad)

NICKEL METAL HYDRIDE = Ni-MH

LITHIUM ION – Li-Ion

LITHIUM IRON PHOSPHATE – LiFePO4

: Firstly, the procedure for the testing of the emergency lighting equipment installed within buildings is a mandatory requirement to allow the occupants the opportunity to escape safety in the event of an emergency.

The following minimum inspections and tests shall be carried out at the intervals recommended to and the regulating authority may require specific tests.

Daily – Indicators shall be visually inspected for correct operation.

Monthly – Short duration tests by switching on, in the emergency mode, each luminaire and each internally illuminated exit sign from its battery

Annually – Full rated duration test in accordance with the manufacturer's information.
: A Self-Test system is basically an intelligent emergency system, which is integral to each luminaire, and which conducts routine functional and duration testing in-line with the relevant standards, providing great benefits to the end user client in that previously conventional techniques used for the testing procedure were reliant upon the manual process, where the automated system offers full compliance, without the need for the outdated manual process.

: These fittings utilise an accurate internal clock which is programmed to interrupt the permanent mains supply at set intervals, thus initiating emergency lighting tests. These units are supplied pre-programmed to initiate short duration tests once every month, a one third duration test after six months and a full duration test once every 12 months.

The standard states in relating to emergency escape lighting system design, in which the provision of a highly reliable emergency escape lighting is essential and the illumination provided by the emergency escape lighting system of a compartment of the escape route shall be from two or more luminaires, so that the failure of one luminaire does not plunge the route into total darkness or make the directional finding effect of the system ineffective.

Please read our blog for more information.
: It is essential that battery packs within all emergency luminaires are replaced after a four-year period. All emergency luminaires must be tested in accordance with BS EN 5266-8-2004. Increased frequency of emergency testing may result in the premature replacement of battery pack, before the standard four-year period. Batteries are supplied with a 2 years warranty only.
