What We Cover

At Goodwill Electrical, we take testing electrical safety systems very seriously to ensure they work when needed. Our team conducts thorough assessments, examining every aspect of your system, from checking the condition of the lights to replacing and charging batteries as necessary.

We maintain detailed records in your internal testing logbooks to ensure compliance with safety standards. Additionally, we offer training for your employees so they can perform weekly or monthly tests to uphold safety protocols.

How Often Should You Conduct Emergency Light Testing?

Businesses should conduct emergency light testing regularly to ensure safety compliance and operational readiness. Most regulations and industry standards, such as BS 5266-1, recommend testing lighting systems monthly and performing a full-duration test by a professional annually. Regular testing ensures that the lights function properly during urgent situations, providing crucial visibility for safe evacuations. Neglecting this can lead to serious consequences, including fines, legal liabilities, or endangering lives during an emergency.

Emergency light testing is crucial for ensuring the safety of building occupants during an urgent situation. Properly functioning systems provide visibility and guidance, helping people evacuate safely in case of power failure, fire, or other emergencies.

Conducting emergency lighting maintenance is crucial to ensuring your systems are working correctly when you need them the most.

A monthly function test takes just a few minutes per light, while an annual full duration test can take several hours, depending on the number of lights and their rated duration. The exact time will depend on the size and layout of the building as well as the emergency lighting maintenance requirements.

These fixtures should stay on for at least 90 minutes during a power failure. This duration ensures adequate time for safe evacuation.

Emergency light testing requirements include all backup lights undergoing monthly functional tests to check if all fixtures operate correctly. This involves pressing the test button on the lights to simulate a power failure and confirming that fixtures illuminate as they should. Additionally, a full-duration annual test is required, where the lighting system runs for the entire time it is intended to remain operational during an outage (usually 90 minutes or more).

Testing must cover key areas like exit routes, staircases, hallways, and open spaces to verify that adequate lighting is available in all critical zones.

Maintaining detailed records of all tests is a crucial part of compliance. These records document test dates, results, any maintenance or repairs performed, and technician details. They serve as evidence during inspections and help identify recurring issues to ensure the system remains dependable.

Paul turned up promptly to view the job required and issued a written quotation within two days.

The team have done an excellent job including putting all the carpets back in place, tidying up, and vacuuming everywhere, and even shampooing the carpets were required to bring them back to their original condition. He and his team are hard-working, working 8 am till 6 pm every day to complete the job. Paul and his team are very competent; therefore I would highly recommend them to carry out any electrical work.

Goodwill Electrical are a truly skilled and friendly team, who worked continuously to complete the works and were very respectful of the property and contents. During the quotation visit, I was not sure of best ways to achieve some aspects of what was wanted or needed throughout my 1930’s semi. Paul explained options and gave informative advice. Excellent workmanship and very clean and tidy after the job was finished.

He was loyal to his quote throughout the job and there were no “hidden extras”. His communication about the nature of the work involved was excellent. He was on time every day.

I asked Paul to check the wiring in my house after I was told by a different electrician that we would need a full rewire. Paul told us that we don’t need a rewire and that our electrics are absolutely fine. I’m so glad we checked with Paul as this would have been one very expensive mistake if not! He also didn’t charge us anything for the call out after seeing that nothing was wrong with the electrics. If we ever do have any problems we definitely know who to call now though.

Thanks again Paul.

We required a hard wiring inspection to be done urgently on our property. I am so pleased I found Goodwill Electrical when I did a search. I did an online enquiry and Paul got back to me straightaway to discuss the work, a quote and date.

After completing the inspection and the remedial work required, they have now also fitted a car charger for us.

We have absolutely no hesitation in recommending Goodwill Electrical. They are prompt, courteous and professional and we will certainly use them again without hesitation.
