BS 5266-1 — Testing & Inspection Schedule
The Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 requires all non-domestic premises to maintain and document compliance. BS 5266-1 sets out the required testing schedule:
Brief function test — simulate mains failure, confirm all fittings illuminate, restore mains. Record in logbook.
1-hour duration test — simulate mains failure for 1 hour, verify all fittings remain illuminated throughout.
Full 3-hour duration test by competent person — lux levels checked, exit signs verified, defects repaired. Certificate issued.
Full system survey whenever building layout changes, new tenancy, or after any modification to escape routes.
Your local fire authority carries out routine inspections. Non-compliant records and missing certificates result in enforcement notices.
