Duration testing is more than flipping a key switch: we monitor performance through the discharge window, note early failures, and manage restoration of supply. Results feed a prioritised remedial plan so capital spend targets true risk. For large sites we issue a programme and progress reports until the estate is closed out.
- ●Full autonomy / duration testing by circuit or area
- ●Pass-fail logging against design duration
- ●Battery and luminaire remedial works

Emergency Lighting Duration Test FAQ
Is a duration test the same as the annual test?+
The annual test is typically a full duration test. Additional duration tests may be needed after major battery or system changes.
What duration should we achieve?+
Commonly three hours for escape lighting, but the design may specify otherwise. We test to the system’s designed duration.
Can you duration-test central battery systems?+
Yes. Central battery and static inverter systems need specialist procedures; we plan load and isolation carefully with your site team.
