UK Emergency Lighting Regulations – What You Need to Know

What Standards Apply to Emergency Lighting?
In the UK, emergency lighting must comply with BS 5266 and the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005.
These rules apply to offices, shops, rental properties, and commercial buildings, ensuring people can exit safely in a power cut or fire.
How Often Should Emergency Lighting Be Tested?
UK law requires monthly visual checks and a full 3-hour annual test.
Landlords and business owners are responsible for these inspections. Missing tests can lead to fines, failed safety audits, and increased fire risk.
