What are the testing requirements for emergency lighting?
Regular testing is essential for emergency and exit lights. According to the Australian Standards, emergency lights require duration tests to see how long they last, as well as luminance tests to check how bright they are.
These lights must undergo a 90-minute discharge test every six months to check how long they can operate during a power outage. This test simulates an emergency and verifies that the lights can provide adequate illumination for safe evacuation. If they do not perform to their fullest, a battery replacement, a tube replacement, or a complete unit replacement may be required.
