An Emergency Lighting Certificate is required following the installation, inspection, or periodic testing of emergency lighting systems within a building. This lighting certification is crucial for ensuring compliance with health and safety regulations, which mandate that emergency lighting must be fully operational to facilitate safe evacuation in case of an emergency or power failure, and have a current Emergency Lighting certificate. It's typically needed for commercial buildings, residential complexes with communal areas, and public spaces to certify that the emergency lighting meets the required safety standards and is in good working order.
In the UK, the requirement for installing and upkeeping an adequate emergency lighting system in premises is dictated by specific fire safety legislation. According to the British Standard BS 5266-1, emergency lighting must be installed if a risk assessment indicates a need for it, ensuring compliance with specified minimum illuminance levels and safety signage recommendations outlined in sections 5.3.2 and 5.3.3 of the standard.
