In order to be compliant with AS/NZS 2293:2005 Emergency escape lighting and exit signs for buildings by law you need to have your Emergency Exit Light system (EEL) tested on a 6-monthly basis.
This Test Consists of a 90-minute discharge test whereby the power to this lighting system is cut off and the EEL system will prove its effectiveness by remaining illuminated for the entire 90-minute period. Our Technician will identify all Exit light fittings, utilise the switchboard to commence the testing and periodically check on each of the EEL assets throughout the 90-minute discharge period.
As we are qualified electricians, we are able to rectify any faults that are presented in the emergency exit light testing system and leave you compliant in accordance with AS/NZS 2293:2005.
The short answer is, no they shouldn't. If they are set up correctly, you should have all of your exit lights sitting on a timer which will be located in your switchboard. Some sites will simply have all their exit lights on a separate circuit to normal lighting. In the situation where all of your lighting, including exit lights are on the same circuit, we can provide two options. The first option being rectification of this fault and the installation of an exit light timer. The second option being, out of hours emergency exit light testing to ensure there is no disruption to your site.

If the building experiences a full power shut down, parts of the premises that do not receive good amounts of natural light will not be safe. This is due to surrounding obstacles, such as desks and other items that become hazards. If you have staff who use your premises at night time or simply working past 5pm, this risk is elevated greatly. The installation and maintenance of Exit Light systems ensure all employees can safely exit the building in an emergency. Failure to provide a safe workplace, especially in an emergency; can result of heavy-handed legal actions from the governing bodies and potentially civil lawsuits from injured personal.
In addition to general emergency exit light maintenance and testing, we are specialised in commercial electrical services. Are you looking for a commercial electrician? Learn more about our Electrical Test and Tag Testing, RCD Testing, or Fire Extinguisher Testing.
