Why would emergency lighting systems need maintenance?

As the owner of a building, you are obligated to organise the inspection of fire safety installations.

The safety of your people – safe evacuation and exit.

Maintenance ensures that the systems are in good working order and extends their lifespan.

Reassurance and less worry – the systems are functional.

As an owner and possessor of a building, you must ensure the regular maintenance of the systems

Emergency lighting must ensure safety. The purpose of an emergency lighting system is to make sure that your people can exit and evacuate safely if the regular lighting malfunctions. To ensure that the emergency lighting works correctly, a competent specialist must inspect and maintain it regularly.

Requirements to emergency lighting

If your building is fitted with emergency lighting, you as the possessor of the building must inspect it visually once a week.

Emergency lighting is part of fire safety installations of a building and fire safety is subject to very strict requirements. Therefore, the lighting must be inspected by a professional maintenance specialist once a month. A specialist must also conduct a thorough maintenance once a year.

An individual without the required competency or professional certification should never be allowed to maintain the systems in your building. The risks are too high.
