Automated emergency testing, less manual effort

We help you specify emergency systems that self-test and report automatically, reducing manual checks, improving fault visibility and keeping compliance records audit-ready across single or multiple sites.

Common questions

  • What is self-test or automatic emergency lighting testing?

    Self-test and automatic systems carry out the required functional and duration checks on emergency luminaires automatically, logging the results. This reduces manual testing and helps keep records audit-ready. We supply emergency components and controls that support these capabilities and help you select compatible options. The testing regime and compliance responsibilities still rest with the responsible person and applicable standards.

  • How does automated testing reduce our workload?

    Automated and self-test systems perform routine checks without manual intervention and record the results, which reduces the time spent testing and logging, particularly across larger or multi-site estates. Monitoring can also flag faults early. We help specify compatible emergency systems and controls. The right approach depends on your existing systems and reporting needs, which we can review with you.

  • Can automated testing work across multiple sites?

    Yes. Systems that support self-test and reporting can be applied across multiple sites to centralise records and reduce manual checks estate-wide. The right approach depends on the systems in place and your monitoring and reporting needs. Sharing details of your estate lets us explain compatible options and how automated testing and monitoring could be supported.

Frequently asked questions

  • Does automated testing work across a large estate?

    Yes. Self-test and monitored systems suit larger and multi-site estates, where centralised records and reduced manual checks are especially valuable. The right approach depends on the systems and your reporting needs. Sharing details of the estate lets us explain compatible options and how automated testing and monitoring could be coordinated across sites.

  • Can monitoring flag emergency faults early?

    Yes. Connected monitoring can identify emergency-lighting faults early, before a routine test would, which supports proactive maintenance and reduces the risk of undetected failures. The capability depends on the systems in place. Sharing your estate and requirements lets us explain compatible monitoring options and how fault visibility could be improved across your buildings.

  • What are the compliance benefits of automated testing?

    Automated testing and reporting help keep records complete and audit-ready and reduce the risk of missed manual checks, which supports compliance evidence. It does not remove the underlying duties: the testing regime and compliance remain the responsible person’s responsibility, informed by applicable standards. We can help specify systems that make maintaining that evidence easier.

  • Can we upgrade existing emergency lighting to automated testing?

    Often, yes. We help identify compatible self-test or monitored emergency products and explain upgrade routes from manual systems. The right approach depends on the existing luminaires and gear. Sharing details of your current emergency system lets us recommend suitable components and explain how automated testing and reporting could be introduced, with applicable standards considered.

  • How does self-test emergency lighting work?

    Self-test emergency luminaires run their own functional and duration checks automatically at set intervals and indicate or log the results, reducing the need for manual testing. The exact behaviour depends on the products and system. We help select compatible self-test components and explain the options. The testing regime and compliance responsibilities remain with the responsible person and applicable standards.

  • Can automated testing work across multiple sites?

    Yes. Systems that support self-test and reporting can be applied across multiple sites to centralise records and reduce manual checks estate-wide. The right approach depends on the systems in place and your monitoring and reporting needs. Sharing details of your estate lets us explain compatible options and how automated testing and monitoring could be supported.
