EXIT AND EMERGENCY LIGHTING (EEL)
EEL Testing
For businesses operating within buildings, having well-defined evacuation strategies for emergencies is imperative. Emergency light testing and exit light testing are crucial components to establish a clear exit path in case of unforeseen events. Evacuation lighting proves essential during blackouts, electrical failures, and fire emergencies. A well-lit and clearly marked exit path not only minimise panic, but also enhances the chances of staff avoiding harm.

How often do I need my EEL tested?
According to the AS2293.2 standard for emergency lighting testing & inspection, all emergency luminaries and exit signs need to be inspected at 6-monthly intervals. During the inspection, a trained individual must test the lamps and replace any defective lights. Each device will also undergo a discharge test in which a technician will turn the battery charger off and simulate a power outage for a duration of 90 minutes. The test will continue until every emergency light or exit sign is tested.
Your lighting system should receive another test every 12 months with all the same procedures as the 6-monthly test, plus the inspection and cleaning of fittings and reflective surfaces. It is important that you hire a professional to test your system instead of simply replacing the battery on your own. Without a formal discharge test, you could be unaware of potential power failures in your system. A trained technician will be able to identify any faults in your lighting through thorough inspection and compliance with the current safety standards.
