Exit & Emergency Light Testing
AS/NZS 2293.2 Compliant Emergency Lighting Inspection - Across Adelaide, Brisbane, Darwin, Melbourne, Perth, Sydney
Emergency Lighting & Exit Sign Testing
Exit signs and emergency lighting are critical safety systems that guide occupants to safety during a power failure, fire, or other emergency. If they fail when needed, the consequences can be catastrophic.
Under AS/NZS 2293, all emergency lighting and exit signs in commercial and public buildings must be regularly inspected and tested to ensure they will operate correctly in an emergency. This includes both the luminaires themselves and the battery backup systems that power them when mains power fails.
NWS Services provides professional inspection, testing, and maintenance of all emergency lighting and exit sign systems, ensuring your building meets its legal obligations and your occupants are protected.
Why Testing Is Essential
Legal Requirement
AS/NZS 2293 mandates regular testing of all emergency lighting and exit signs. Building owners and occupiers face significant penalties for non-compliance.
Battery Degradation
Emergency lighting batteries degrade over time and may not hold sufficient charge to power lights for the required 90-minute duration. Only testing can confirm battery health.
Lamp Failures
Individual lamps can fail without any visible indication during normal operation. Regular testing identifies failed lamps before an emergency occurs.
Building Certification
Many building occupancy certificates and fire safety statements require evidence of current emergency lighting compliance testing.
Insurance & Liability
In the event of an incident, failure to maintain emergency lighting records could expose building owners to significant legal and insurance liability.
Occupant Safety
Functioning exit signs and emergency lighting are the difference between an orderly evacuation and a dangerous situation. Don't leave it to chance.
Our Testing Process
System Audit
We audit your entire emergency lighting and exit sign installation, identifying every luminaire and its location.
Monthly Function Test
Each luminaire is tested to confirm it activates correctly when mains power is interrupted.
Annual Duration Test
Annually, each luminaire is tested for the full 90-minute discharge period required by AS/NZS 2293 to confirm battery capacity.
Report & Remediation
You receive a full compliance report. Failed units are flagged for replacement and we can arrange remediation works.
