Emergency lighting can be critical for safety and functionality in a building if the normal lighting fails for any reason. Pritchard Security works to the BS 5266 British Standard for Emergency Lighting, and all our installations are graded to these stringent standards.
Emergency lights work on a system that uses a battery backup, so when the power fails, the lamps illuminate. With this in mind, the batteries need to be tested and maintained on a regular basis.
A Pritchard system is sure to meet your requirements for sufficient brightness and duration of illumination, and the light sources we install are positioned so that staff and visitors of a building can be evacuated safely in an emergency. Regular maintenance of emergency lighting is essential, to ensure correct
operation when an emergency occurs, and compliance with current regulations and insurance requirements. Any faults discovered during maintenance should be recorded in an Emergency Lighting Logbook; this forms part of your Fire Risk Assessment.
Pritchard Security’s experienced engineers carry out work on emergency lighting systems on a regular basis and our services include advice on compliance with current regulations, risk assessments, servicing and maintenance visits.
Pritchard Security works to:
BS 5266-1:2005 Emergency Lighting code of practice for the emergency lighting of premises (including recommended test procedure).
