The Importance of Emergency Lighting Servicing

 

Emergency lights must be operational to guide people to safety in the event of an emergency. Regular servicing ensures that the system will perform when needed, helping prevent accidents and saving lives.

​

Legal Requirements for Emergency Lighting in Scotland​

​

Under the Scottish Fire and Rescue Service Fire Safety (Scotland) Regulations, commercial properties, and residential buildings with communal areas, are required to install and maintain emergency lighting systems. These systems must be regularly serviced and maintained to comply with fire safety regulations.

​

Key requirements include:​

• Emergency lighting in areas such as escape routes, stairways, and hallways.

• Annual servicing and maintenance of emergency lighting to ensure functionality during emergencies.

• Battery backup systems must be checked to ensure they work for the required duration (usually 3 hours).

• Testing of exit signs and lighting to ensure proper illumination and visibility.
