    1. Schedule an Appointment

    At a time that suits you, our team will visit your site to evaluate the current state of your exit and emergency lighting systems. We carefully consider various factors such as the layout of your premises, specific safety requirements, and any concerns you might have. This approach helps us ensure that our planning for the testing phase is precisely aligned with your needs.

    2. Comprehensive Testing

    Our certified technicians conduct extensive tests on every exit and emergency light across your building to ensure they function as required under AS2293. This involves manually simulating a power failure to check that all lights operate on battery power for at least ninety minutes, which is essential for safety during actual emergencies. We also inspect all related hardware and connections to identify any potential issues before they evolve into something more problematic.

    3. Detailed Reporting

    After testing, you will receive an in-depth report that documents the condition of your emergency lights and exit lights, any faults found, and the corrective actions taken. This comprehensive report serves as a formal record of your compliance with safety regulations. It helps you understand the performance of your emergency lighting system and make informed decisions about any needed improvements.

    4. Follow-Up Maintenance

    To ensure your systems remain compliant and operate reliably, we schedule follow-up visits every six months, as required by regulations. During these visits, we conduct mandatory testing of all exit and emergency lighting as well as perform maintenance. This includes replacing any defective units, updating systems to keep up with technological advancements or changing regulations, and carrying out any necessary repairs. Regular maintenance and testing of emergency lights and exit lights can help prevent system failures during emergencies and maintain ongoing safety and compliance.

    Emergency and Exit Light Testing FAQs

    • What is exit and emergency light testing?

      Exit and emergency light testing involves checking the functionality and compliance of emergency lighting systems in a building to ensure they operate during a power outage, as per Australian Standard AS2293.

    • Why is it important to test emergency lights and exit lights?

      Non-maintained emergency lights can increase the risk of accidents during evacuations. Regular testing is important to ensure that in the event of an emergency, such as a power failure, the emergency and exit lighting will function correctly and do its job of providing safe passage for all occupants. Consider a scenario where a fire causes a building’s power to cut out during nighttime hours. Without functioning emergency lighting, the occupants would be left in complete darkness, making evacuation difficult and dangerous. Routine testing guarantees that in such critical moments, emergency lights (or exit lights) will illuminate escape routes and allow the occupants of your building to safely exit the premises.

    • How often should exit lights and emergency lights be tested?

      According to AS2293, emergency lights and exit lights must be tested every six months to verify they can operate on battery power for a minimum of ninety minutes. AS2293 also stipulates that this testing should include a full discharge of the battery to simulate an actual power failure scenario, confirming the lights' ability to function effectively in real emergencies. This rigorous testing schedule helps to ensure that all emergency lighting systems work as they should when most needed.

    • What does the emergency lighting testing process involve?

      The emergency lighting testing process includes a duration test to simulate a power outage and ensure lights operate on battery for at least 90 minutes, checking all fixtures for functionality, and replacing faulty bulbs or batteries as necessary.

    • Can I test my emergency and exit lights myself?

      While basic checks can be performed by trained staff, compliance testing can only be conducted by qualified professionals to ensure all standards are met.

    • What happens if a light fails during testing?

      If a light fails during emergency lighting testing, it will need to be repaired or replaced immediately to maintain compliance and ensure safety. Ronika’s emergency lighting maintenance includes repair and replacement of any defective components.

    • Do you provide certification for compliance after testing?

      Yes, we provide a detailed compliance report after each testing session, which includes all findings and actions taken. Our reports are suitable for legal and safety records.

    • How long does the emergency lighting testing take?

      How long the testing takes depends on the size of the premises and the number of lights to be tested, but typically it takes our team a few hours to complete.

    • What are the penalties for non-compliance with AS2293?

      Non-compliance can result in legal repercussions including fines and increased liability in the event of an emergency, making regular testing not just mandatory but essential for safety and legal protection.
