UK Emergency Lighting Regulations – What You Need to Know

Our certified London electricians install and maintain emergency lighting that meets all UK legal requirements, keeping your property safe and compliant.

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.

Why Compliance Matters

Regular testing not only avoids penalties but also protects lives during emergencies. Our team provides scheduled inspections, detailed reports, and reliable repairs to keep your lighting system always ready.
