What Is an Emergency Lighting Certificate?

An Emergency Lighting Certificate certifies that your emergency lighting system has been tested, inspected and meets the legal standards for safety. Emergency lighting is required to automatically illuminate exit routes in the event of a power failure , helping occupants evacuate the building safely.

Following an inspection, a certificate is issued to confirm compliance with relevant regulations, including BS 5266-1:2016, the British Standard for emergency lighting systems.

Why Emergency Lighting is needed?

Having Emergency Lighting in commercial buildings are crucial as they function in an event of emergency. Typically, emergency lights are used to show the exit routes enabling people to leave the building safely.

Emergency lights are essential as they will still work in case of a loss of power or in case of fire. If emergency occurs and emergency lights are not working properly, a bad situation could end up being way worse , especially in the event of power failure.

Regular testing keeps everyone safe and ensures you stay compliant. Neglecting this responsibility could lead to serious consequences including prosecution. Avoid the risk by testing your emergency lights and stay protected.

FAQs - Emergency Lighting Certificate London

Why are emergency lights so important?

Typically, emergency lighting is used to illuminate the exit routes people will need to take in an emergency, enabling people to get away from danger quickly and safely. Emergency lights are special: they are used because they still work even if there is a loss of power. They will even work if there is a fire, so people can easily see where they need to go. It’s easy to see how emergency lights that aren’t functioning properly could contribute to an already bad situation becoming far worse.

What happens during the inspection?

We simulate a mains power failure to ensure all emergency lights come on and illuminate key exit routes. We also check battery backup, light levels, and proper placement of fittings.

Can I combine this with other services?

Absolutely — many of our clients combine emergency lighting checks with PAT Testing, Fire Alarm Testing, and EPCs for a full compliance package.

How often do I need an Emergency Lighting Certificate?

You’re required to have your emergency lighting system inspected and certified annually. Monthly functional checks are also recommended.

Do you cover my area?

Yes! We cover all areas in London within M25

What do I need to do to ensure my emergency lighting works?

Emergency light testing should be carried out periodically, and by qualified professionals. When the engineer is happy that your emergency lighting is up to scratch, you will receive an emergency lighting certificate. Emergency light testing isn’t just important; it’s also a requirement under UK law. If you’re responsible for a commercial or public building, whether it might be a school or a business office, you must make sure the building’s emergency lighting is fully functional. Failure to do so could even result in prosecution.
