EMERGENCY LIGHTING TESTING & INSPECTIONS
Fully Qualified Engineers Test and Inspect Emergency Lighting Installations
Our engineers undertake the testing of your Emergency Lighting to the highest standard complying with the relevant standards.
Emergency lighting systems illuminate escape routes to help ensure that building occupants can escape safely in the event of a mains power failure. ECS provide a range of Emergency Lighting testing services to ensure your installations are well maintained and in good working order so that you can be assured that your systems will work when you need them and guide building users to evacuate safely.
Where emergency lighting systems are installed they are required to provide lighting to escape routes for a minimum of 3 hours in accordance with BS5266. The British Standard also specifies where lights need to be sited and the level of illumination required.

ECS will:
- Carry out 3 hour emergency light battery discharge tests and identify any fittings that fail to provide the required lighting levels at the end of the test period.
- Provide a report on all fittings identifying any failures.
- Ensure all fittings are appropriately labelled and identifiable
- Check plans and drawings are up to date
- Advise on any improvements required to bring systems up to the British Standard
- Provide a test log book to enable clients to record future checks

“ECS (Electrical Compliance and Safety) Ltd regularly carry out all of the electrical testing, installations and repairs at Oakley Vale Primary School. We have confidence and assurance in the electrical safety testing and compliance work they do throughout the school, ensuring our children, staff and buildings are kept safe. ECS’s experienced engineers arrive at the school with a full DBS check and have already been given internal safeguarding training (at ECS) before they begin work. ECS make it easy for us to adhere to current legislation and to be compliant. They fully understand the need for all work to be carried out whilst the school is closed and carry out all electrical work to a very high standard, within a certain time frame. We would not hesitate in recommending ECS to other schools and trusts.”
