Emergency Lighting FAQs for Southampton Businesses
Is emergency lighting a legal requirement for my Southampton premises?
Yes. The Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 requires the responsible person to ensure emergency routes and exits are equipped with emergency lighting. BS 5266-1 provides the technical standard for design, installation and testing, and applies to virtually all commercial premises in Southampton.
How often does emergency lighting need to be tested in Southampton?
Under BS 5266-1, emergency lighting requires a brief monthly flick test (typically 1 hour) and a full annual discharge test (3-hour duration for most systems). FireJet provides both test regimes across Southampton with full certification and log-book entries.
Southampton has many large retail, leisure and hospitality venues — what emergency lighting is needed?
Large public venues in Southampton including shopping centres, restaurants, cinemas and sports facilities require emergency lighting on all escape routes, in all open areas over 60m², at changes of direction, at every exit and at fire safety equipment locations. FireJet can survey your venue and design a fully compliant system.
What is a self-test emergency lighting system and do I need one in Southampton?
Self-test emergency lighting systems automatically carry out their own test cycles and record results electronically, removing the need for manual monthly tests by staff. They are increasingly popular in Southampton offices and multi-tenanted buildings where access for manual testing is impractical.
Our emergency lighting failed its annual test — what happens next?
If your emergency lighting fails its annual full-duration test, the failed fittings must be repaired or replaced before the system is signed off as compliant. FireJet can carry out remedial works across Southampton and re-test to issue a clean certificate.
