Frequently Asked Questions - FAQs

Your trusted partner in delivering high-quality, sustainable electrical services. With over 5+ of experience, we specialize.

How often does emergency lighting need to be tested?

Emergency lighting systems must be tested every 6 months and annually in accordance with AS/NZS 2293.2. Annual testing includes a full 90-minute battery discharge to ensure the system operates correctly during an emergency.

What is the minimum lighting level required for emergency systems?

The standard requirement is a minimum of 0.2 lux along escape routes, with at least 1 lux in specific high-risk or essential areas such as stairways and changes in floor level.

Do I need to upgrade my existing emergency lighting to LED?

While not always mandatory, upgrading to LED is highly recommended. LED systems are more energy-efficient, require less maintenance, and provide improved reliability compared to older lighting technologies.

What happens if my emergency lighting system fails an inspection?

If your system fails, it must be repaired or upgraded promptly to meet compliance standards. Failure to do so may impact your Building Warrant of Fitness (BWOF) and overall building compliance.

What documentation is required for compliance?

You must maintain a logbook that records all testing, inspections, and maintenance activities. This documentation is reviewed by an Independent Qualified Person (IQP) during BWOF assessments.
