emergency lighting tests

[nick182]

Hi guys,

Just wondering what qualifications enable me to test emergency lighting systems?. I have level 2 and level 3 City and Guilds 2330 and my 17th edition.

My Client asked if i could do it for him tomorrow. I have done a bit of reading on the subject, regulations etc. but cant find that much information so im assuming that it cant be that difficult. I am also wondering if its the Periodic Inspection and Testing certificate that i fill out and if there is a sample of it already filled out somewhere. I want to make sure it is done correctly.

thanks in advance

cheers
Nick

There is a specific emergency lighting test cert, its not exactly rocket science to test them but you should really know what your looking for

NICEIC have a specific EmLight test cert as for whats involved test lights for illumination , time replace any lamps that dont light report( price) any batterys required Might be better to replace fittings due to price worth checking specialy for 8w fittings

yeah ive got a vague idea on what/how to test. I have obtained the Green Emergency Lighting P.I.R.

Would the owner have a log book with all tests recorded? Or am i just issuing him with a PIR

 

[mogga]

he should have a book recording the companys visual checks weekly
