Electrical compliance
Emergency lighting needs routine attention so faults are found and resolved. We help Norwich and Norfolk building managers plan functional and duration checks, document results and arrange agreed repairs for commercial and managed premises.
A complete service
A test record should make the next action obvious. We identify failed fittings and other observations, explain the remedial options and keep the inspection history accessible for the responsible person.
What is included
We scope the programme around the installed system, BS 5266-1:2025 and BS EN 50172:2024. Building use, the fire-risk assessment, manufacturer instructions and existing records inform the checks and visit plan.
The agreed functional or duration tests are carried out and findings recorded so failed units and next steps can be identified.
Where the system needs attention, we can quote for and complete agreed repairs or replacements, then document the work.
A practical programme for building managers
For Norwich and Norfolk commercial premises, we plan emergency-lighting checks around the system, occupancy and required duration. BS 5266-1:2025 and BS EN 50172:2024 provide the current reference editions.
Briefly simulate loss of the normal lighting supply and check that emergency luminaires and relevant safety signs operate. Restore the supply, check indicators and log the outcome.
Check the system through its full rated duration, with the associated inspections. Arrange a suitable test window and precautions while batteries recharge, taking account of building use and the fire-risk assessment.
Keep results, faults and repairs in the logbook. Automatic-test results still need review. Wider requirements include central-supply indicator checks where applicable and five-year illuminance verification under BS EN 50172:2024.
Reference information: BSI emergency-lighting code of practice and government guidance for offices and shops.
Commercial work in practice
At a Norwich commercial suite, Tassie & Son carried out annual emergency-lighting inspection and duration testing. The record connects the checks with subsequent luminaire replacements, giving the building team a documented history of testing and follow-up work.
For a Norwich office fitout, we installed emergency downlights and illuminated exit signs, integrated them with retained LED panels and tested the completed provision. We provided marked test facilities, the test logbook and user documentation, bringing the installation and its operating information together at handover.

Helpful answers
The current reference editions are BS 5266-1:2025, the UK code of practice, and BS EN 50172:2024 for emergency escape-lighting systems. We agree a programme suited to the installed system and premises.
Yes. Visits and results can be organised across a portfolio using our Joblogic CAFM workflow.
We can investigate faults and quote for agreed repairs or replacements after testing.
Routine testing includes monthly functional checks and annual testing for the system's full rated duration. Additional inspections depend on the system and applicable requirements. Results, faults and follow-up work should be recorded in the logbook.
The test must cover the full rated duration required for the particular system and premises. We review the system information and agree the appropriate duration rather than assume one rating for every building.
