About Emergency Lighting Inspection
An emergency lighting inspection assesses whether installed escape lighting still meets the needs of the building and BS 5266 good practice. iComply inspect emergency lighting systems across Greater Manchester and the North West, identifying missing coverage, failed batteries, poor siting and incomplete records.

Inspections may be standalone condition surveys, pre-acquisition checks or part of planned maintenance. We walk escape routes, open areas and high-risk task zones, note obstructed or unlit sections, check exit signage and review available logbooks. Findings distinguish urgent life-safety gaps from longer-term upgrade opportunities such as LED conversion. For agents managing many blocks, a standard inspection template makes portfolio comparison straightforward. After inspection we can quote repairs, full retests or redesign if the original installation no longer matches building use.

Emergency Lighting Inspection FAQ
Is an inspection the same as a duration test?+
No. Inspection reviews condition and suitability; duration testing specifically discharges batteries. Many visits combine both when scoped that way.
How often should emergency lighting be inspected by a competent person?+
Alongside regular function tests, periodic professional inspection and annual duration testing are typically required—exact frequency follows BS 5266 and your fire risk assessment.
Can you inspect before we buy or lease a commercial building?+
Yes. Pre-acquisition inspections highlight capital liabilities for emergency lighting before you commit.
