Self-Test
emergency lighting
testing system
Current regulations stipulate periodic mandatory
testing of an emergency lighting system to
ensure the correct operation of the system in
the event of a mains failure, together with
compilation of all corresponding documentation.
The Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 and
Fire (Scotland) Act 2005 place responsibility for the
testing of emergency lighting systems firmly with the
owner or occupier of the building.
Manual testing and the compilation of records can
prove expensive, time-consuming, and disruptive to
commercial activities.
Emergi-Lite Self-Test offers an easy and cost
effective solution for regular testing of emergency
lighting, without requiring programming or complex
set-up procedures.
It provides continuous monitoring of the mains and
battery status, together with a regular testing regime
designed to meet mandatory requirements.
