What the Law Requires in Ealing
Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 and BS 5266-1 standards, all commercial and multi-occupancy buildings in Ealing must have operational emergency lighting to clearly mark escape routes during power failure. The system must be professionally installed and undergo consistent servicing to remain compliant.
Essential Monthly and Annual Checks
Property owners in Ealing are required by law to carry out brief monthly functionality tests and one annual full-duration test on their emergency lighting. Overlooking these legal checks may result in enforcement action, fines, or increased risk during an actual emergency.
