  • EICRs are carried out to ensure:

    • the safety of persons and livestock against the effects of electric shock and burns.
    • protection against damage to property by fire and heat arising from an installation defect.
    • confirmation that the installation is not damaged or deteriorated so as to impair safety.
    • the identification of installation defects and departures from the requirements of the regulations (BS7671) that may give rise to danger.

Emergency Electrical Testing

Emergency lighting is a crucial safety feature in any building, ensuring that occupants can navigate safely in the event of a power outage or emergency. However, to be effective, emergency lights need to be regularly tested and maintained. Emergency light testing is a vital aspect of ensuring that these lights function properly when needed most.


What Does Emergency Light Testing Involve?

Testing emergency lights typically involves several key checks:

  1. Functionality Check: Ensuring that each emergency light is working properly and provides adequate illumination.
  2. Battery Test: Verifying that the backup battery is in good condition and capable of providing power for the required duration (usually 1-3 hours).
  3. Duration Test: Simulating a power failure to confirm that lights will stay on for the mandated duration without issue.
  4. Visual Inspection: Checking for any physical damage or issues with the light fittings, including ensuring they are clean and unobstructed.

Legal Requirements

In the UK, regular emergency light testing is required by law. Building owners and employers must adhere to regulations to ensure the safety of their occupants. Failing to perform regular tests and maintenance could result in fines, legal action, or, more importantly, serious risks to safety.
