What BS 5266-1 Requires — Testing Schedule

The Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 requires all Chorley non-domestic premises to maintain, test and document their emergency lighting systems. BS 5266-1 sets out the required testing schedule:

WEEKLY

Flick test — a quick visual check of all emergency fittings to confirm indicators are lit and no faults are showing. From £20 + VAT.

MONTHLY

Brief function test — press test switch, confirm all fittings illuminate, restore mains. Your staff can do this.

6-MONTHLY

1-hour duration test — simulate mains failure for 1 hour. Verify all fittings remain illuminated. Record in logbook.

ANNUAL

3-hour full duration test — must be carried out by a competent person. Lux levels checked, exit signs verified, defects repaired. Certificate issued.

Lancashire Fire & Rescue Service inspect commercial premises across Chorley. Non-compliant logbooks and missing certificates result in enforcement notices.
