Commercial Emergency Lights Certificate

Our Service

Ensure Your Escape Routes Are Always Visible

In the event of a power failure, your emergency lighting is the only thing guiding occupants to safety. At Safety Property, we provide comprehensive testing and certification for commercial emergency lighting systems. We ensure your backup lights work when they are needed most, keeping you compliant with British Standards (BS 5266-1).

Why Choose Safety Property?

  • Rapid Reports: Digital certificates sent directly to your inbox within 24 hours of the inspection.

  • BS 5266 Compliant: Our testing procedures strictly adhere to the latest British Standards for emergency lighting.

  • Minimal Disruption: We can schedule testing outside of peak business hours to avoid disrupting your operations.

Service Standards:

  • Full Duration Tests: We perform the required 3-hour drain test to ensure batteries meet legal standards.

  • Transparent Pricing: Fixed-price quotes based on the size of your premises—no surprise hourly fees.

  • Maintenance Logbooks: We help you set up or update your legally required site logbook.

Legally Compliant

Compliance with BS 5266-1 is not optional for commercial buildings. Our certificates prove to local authorities and fire officers that your system is functioning correctly and legally maintained.

Occupant Safety

Sudden darkness causes panic. Our rigorous testing ensures that if the mains power fails during a fire or outage, your staff and visitors can clearly see the exit routes to evacuate safely.

Prevent Battery Failure

Emergency light batteries degrade over time. Our annual full-duration discharge test identifies weak batteries before they fail completely, allowing you to replace them proactively.

Insurance Requirement

Most commercial property insurance policies require proof of maintenance for safety systems. A valid Emergency Lighting Certificate protects your ability to claim in the event of an incident.

What is an Emergency Lighting Certificate?

An Emergency Lighting Certificate is the official documentation confirming that your backup lighting system has passed its annual full-duration test. Unlike a simple monthly “flick test,” this is a deep audit of the system’s battery health.

Our engineers simulate a mains power failure for the full rated duration of your lights (usually 3 hours). We verify that every light remains illuminated for the entire period and recharges correctly afterward. This is a critical requirement under British Standard BS 5266.

Why Do You Need a Professional FRA?

Emergency lighting is a life-safety system. If it fails during an emergency, the consequences can be fatal. The certificate is your proof that you haven’t neglected this duty.

Commercial lighting regulations can be technical. Here are the answers to the questions business owners most frequently ask us about their emergency lighting obligations.

You require a full-duration test (drain test) annually. This is what generates your certificate. However, you should also be performing a short functional test once a month and recording it in your logbook.
