1) Emergency Lighting Inspections

Emergency Lighting Inspections can be carried out in your commercial building by EMC Electrical Group should you be located in Bristol, South Wales or the Southwest. We’ll ensure their functionality should a power outage occur and that you are fully compliant with the relevant standards. 

Back to top

2) What are Emergency Lighting Inspections?

If you are the person responsible for a commercial building, either yourself, a designated “competent person” or EMC Electrical Group can carry out the flick tests. You will be required to use a dedicated test switch also referred to as a “fish key” to simulate a power outage which brings on the emergency lighting. You’ll then be able to visually confirm that they have come on immediately and adequately. A log of your results should then be made along with any malfunctions noted. 

The Emergency Lighting Inspections are where the emergency lighting circuit is isolated from the mains power supply and the emergency lighting is activated. All lights will need to remain illuminated for three hours. EMC Electrical Group will monitor the light output ensuring it meets the required standards and check the battery’s voltage and condition. Again we’ll then provide a detail record of our test results and any issues we encounter.

3) Frequency of Emergency Lighting Inspections 

Monthly flick tests to ensure the lights will come on in an emergency is simply a brief switch off of the power in order to activate the emergency lighting ensuring all are illuminated.

Annual Emergency Lighting Inspections is where EMC Electrical Group will turn off your main power supply and run all the emergency lighting on battery power for the recommended amount of time to ensure their functionality should your business suffer a power outage.

4) Key points to remember regarding Emergency Lighting Inspections

EMC Electrical Group will maintain detailed records of all their monthly/ yearly testing to show the dates they are carried out, our findings and any required remedial works. Your business will also need to make certain that they enlist qualified electricians like EMC Electrical Group to carryout the inspections as we are familiar with all emergency lighting standards and make sure your emergency lighting is regularly checked for any physical damage, that the lights are clean, and all signage is clearly visible. 

Back to top

5) Standards to abide by for Emergency Lighting Inspections

Emergency lighting is critical for your commercial premises ensuring occupants can safely evacuate in the case of an emergency. All Emergency Lighting Inspections must adhere to British Standard BS 5266 as it is a legal requirement. This provides guidelines and regulations for installing, maintaining and testing the system and clearly states only a qualified electrician should conduct the testing. The purpose of the standards is to ensure the lighting works in the event of an emergency, to help people leave to building safely and to help them also stay in a building during an emergency. 

Back to top

6) Remedial Works following Emergency Lighting Inspections

Any faults identified during Emergency Lighting Inspections can include anything from faulty batteries and malfunctioning light fixtures to inadequate illumination levels to non-compliant emergency lighting systems. These findings will result in necessary repairs or replacements that should be carried out as a matter of priority. 

Back to top

7) EMC Electrical Group

Regular inspections will minimise the risk of an injury or fatality in an emergency and helps keep your Bristol, South Wales or Southwest commercial business safe and compliant.

    Craig and Nick (and the rest of the team) are incredibly professional, knowledgable and patient. They have done multiple jobs for us - some installations spanning over the whole site, and have helped with smaller items as well. They are reliable & easy to contact - absolutely top tier!

    Dear Craig,

    We are absolutely thrilled with the work done you and team at EMC have carried out at our home in Keynsham.  

    From start to finish, the professionalism and attention to detail has been exceptional. Courtney arrived on time, quickly found the right solution for our complex project, explained every step of the process, and took great care to ensure everything was installed safely and neatly.

    The quality of the work exceeded my expectations, and Courtney went above and beyond to make sure I was satisfied with the result. I highly recommend EMC to anyone needing electrical work.  

    The skilled, reliable, and genuine caring way you all go about doing the job right and right by the customer is greatly appreciated.  

    If you ever need someone to speak to others interested in instructing, you please feel free to pass on our contacts details.  

    Thank you, EMC, for being an integral part of our renovation journey!

    Yours sincerely, 

    Amy Kington | CEO

    I highly recommend EMC as a result of their excellent service and competitive prices.

    EMC recently completed Portable Appliance Testing (PAT) at our office in Tredegar. Jason and his colleague attended our premises, at all times adhering to strict Covid-19 guidelines.

    Jason took time to talk me through the process in a very friendly but professional manner and carried out the work efficiently.

    I would have no hesitation in recommending EMC for their excellent service, to friends, family and business owners within my network and further afield.

    I would like to personally thank Craig for his recent support in fixing a number of electrical issues in our home. Having spoken to Craig about the numerous outstanding items that had been slowly building for months, he suggested the best and most cost effective way to approach it.

    Having agreed on a booking date, Jamie promptly arrived on time and with covid guidelines in place. He then quickly and efficiently worked his way through the long list of issues, diagnosing and fixing as he went. He was calm, professional, yet friendly throughout his visit, tidied up after his work and even had to pop to the local screwfix for new strip lighting for good measure.

    From start to finish, I had every confidence in Jamie and my family were delighted with the result. I would like to personally thank Craig and all at EMC for their support, which was, at every point, of the highest standards of professionalism. I would have no hesitation in recommending Craig for all your electrical needs.

    We had a lingering issue following a rewire with another company (who we did not wish to approach again). EMC were very understanding and managed to schedule me in despite being very busy.

    Issue was identified and fixed in the same visit, with helpful and friendly explanation of how the issue occurred and how it would be fixed. Communication with the office was clear and easy, with options to call, text or email. Costs were explained up front with no surprises afterwards. We will definitely be returning to EMC for future works, thank you.

    I just wanted to share a quick note and let you know that Craig and the team at EMC did a really great job on wiring up my utility room.

    Living in a house that is over 100 years old comes with its electrical challenges.

    I was thoroughly impressed by the full pre inspection and safety checks carried out before and after the work, and I can rest easy knowing this work comes with a 3 year guarantee and is fully certified.

    The guys did a quick, thorough job and left me with a full working utility meaning I could get on with that mountain of washing that was pilling up. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Craig and the team at EMC . They did a great job , 5 Stars, Would highly recommend.

    Working with Craig and his team has been an excellent experience and I highly recommend their service. We tried 8 different companies in the Backwell, Bristol region and all but Craig and his team were able to give me definitive descriptions of the issues, which I was able to research, and then give appropriate answers. Their quote was clear and concise and all the work was completed and neatly documented.

    I will certainly be using them for our new extensions in future and recommend you try them too.
