Emergency Lighting
Emergency Lighting Maintenance
At CPS we test and maintain emergency lighting for commercial, industrial and public sector buildings, helping keep people safe and your premises compliant.
Emergency lighting has one job: to work when everything else doesn’t.
During a power failure, fire or other emergency, emergency lighting helps people find escape routes and leave the building safely.
Our engineers test and maintain systems in line with BS 50172, helping you meet your responsibilities and giving you confidence that your lighting will work when it matters.

FAQs
Is emergency lighting a legal requirement?
Yes. Most non-domestic premises are legally required to have suitable emergency lighting in place under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005. Emergency lighting helps occupants safely evacuate a building during a power failure, fire, or other emergency.
How often should emergency lighting be tested?
Emergency lighting should be visually checked every month and undergo a full-duration test at least annually. Regular testing helps ensure batteries, fittings and escape route lighting will operate correctly when needed.
What is a full-duration emergency lighting test?
A full-duration test involves running the emergency lighting system on battery power for its rated period, typically three hours. This confirms the batteries can provide adequate illumination throughout an emergency evacuation.
Who is responsible for emergency lighting compliance?
The Responsible Person for the premises, such as a business owner, facilities manager, landlord, or building manager, is responsible for ensuring emergency lighting systems are properly maintained, tested and compliant.
Do you provide emergency lighting maintenance contracts?
Yes. We offer flexible maintenance agreements that include routine inspections, testing, reporting and remedial works, helping businesses stay compliant and avoid unexpected failures.
