operation checks:
Periodic testing should be carried out monthly by simulating a failure of supply, causing the fitting to be
energised from its battery. interruption of the supply should be carried out by the operation of a local key
switch or other isolation device.
During this period all fittings should be examined visually to ensure that they are functioning correctly. At
the end of the test period the supply shall be restored and all indicator lamps or devices checked to ensure
that the normal supply has been restored.
the duration of the simulated failure shall be:
each month:
isolate the power supply and check the light is illuminated.
this test should last for no more than 45 minutes. Endorse the test record form supplied.
every six months:
isolate the power supply and check that the light is still illuminated after 1 hour. Endorse the test record
form.
once each year:
isolate the power supply and check that the light is still illuminated after 3 hours. Endorse the test record
form.
