EXIT AND EMERGENCY LIGHT TESTING AND COMPLIANCE

CAIRNS AND PORT DOUGLAS EXIT AND EMERGENCY LIGHT TESTING AND COMPLIANCE

Cairns and Port Douglas exit and emergency light testing is not only important to your business, it’s a legal requirement under Australian Standards 2293.2. Something you might not know is that all exit and emergency lights have a dual power supply. Connected to the mains, so they are on all the time, with a battery back-up for when there is an actual emergency. Like all batteries, they have a limited lifespan. You will never know if it needs replacing, until you do a test and/or in the worst case scenario, it fails you in an emergency. I think you’ll agree Cairns and Port Douglas, exit and emergency light testing is very important and BH Electrics are your trusted team.
This isn’t just one of those ‘yes I should really action that’ type of issues, it’s a legal requirement under the Australian standard and building code. Why? It’s too late if in the instance of an emergency, you discover your exit lights and/or lighting isn’t working. It’s a national requirement that exit lights are tested every 6 months. During a test, lights must remain illuminated for a minimum of 90-minutes, running on battery power. Additionally, since 2006, it’s a requirement that exit lights display a pictograph of a running man, rather than showing you the word ‘EXIT’. So, are you up to date with your Cairns and Port Douglas exit lighting testing and compliance? If not, give us a call on (07) 4099 3497 or [email protected]

CAIRNS AND PORT DOUGLAS EXIT LIGHTS AND EMERGENCY LIGHTS

What’s the difference between exit lights and emergency lights? Generally, exit lights are located above doors or are directional, showing people the closet exit in the event of an emergency. While emergency lights can either be used to illuminate a pathway / set of stairs, or a dark room, such as the toilet or bathroom, in the event of a power failure. Emergency lighting provides sufficient light for people to move safely, when there is a power outage. Not only is it a legal requirement for you to have emergency lighting in place, it must also be regularly tested to ensure its operational. BH Electrics are the Cairns and Port Douglas emergency light testing and compliance experts.
