To keep up with compliance standards and ensure that your emergency fire protection system is reliable and ready to perform in the event of a potential disaster, you should test your emergency lighting system monthly. Testing your emergency lighting system involves a brief functional test and may include simulating a system failure. Emergency Lighting FAQ Is it a legal requirement to have emergency lighting? Retail stores, industrial facilities, schools, hospitals, hotels, and many other types of commercial buildings are required to have emergency lighting systems for visitors and staff to exit safely during power outages or fires. All emergency lighting systems must meet both NFPA 101 standards and all local fire codes for your jurisdiction. How long should emergency lights stay on? Emergency lights must operate on battery power for at least 90 minutes during a power outage. If your emergency lights shut down sooner, the battery or the charging circuit may be faulty. At Guardian Fire Protection Services, we offer complete inspection, maintenance, and repair services for all types of emergency lighting systems. How often do I need to check my emergency lighting? All emergency lights should be tested once a month for at least 30 seconds. Some systems have a self-test feature, but for others, the “Test” button should be depressed to simulate a power outage. At least once a year, you should have your emergency lighting systems thoroughly inspected and tested by a professional fire protection specialist, and the process should include a full 90-minute run time test. Where should my emergency lighting be installed? Emergency lighting systems aim to provide ample light for safe evacuation during a fire, power outage, or any other emergency. This means that an emergency light should be placed in all rooms larger than a broom closet without ample natural light, near all emergency exits, and in any halls, corridors, ramps, or stairs that lead to an exit. If you need help deciding where to place your emergency lights, talk to our fire protection experts at Guardian Fire Protection Services.
