Frequently asked questions

How often must emergency lighting be tested in Islington?

BS 5266-1:2025 requires a short monthly function test of every fitting and a full rated-duration test (usually three hours) every year, with all results recorded in the logbook.

Who can carry out the annual test?

The annual duration test should be carried out by a competent person. We test outside trading hours where needed because the fittings need time to recharge afterwards.

What do I receive after the test?

You receive an emergency lighting certificate, an updated logbook and a list of failed fittings or batteries with a fixed remedial quotation.

Are you NICEIC approved?

Yes. Polarity Electrics London Ltd is an NICEIC Approved Contractor (#602034000).
