Why Emergency & Exit Light Testing Is Essential

Emergency and exit lights are critical for safely evacuating a building during an emergency or power failure.
To meet legal obligations, all emergency and exit lighting must be inspected and tested in accordance with:

AS/NZS 2293 – Emergency Escape Lighting and Exit Signs for Buildings

This standard requires:

• 6-monthly discharge testing of all emergency and exit lights

• Inspection and cleaning of fittings

• Verification of correct operation after mains power is restored

• Accurate record-keeping in a compliant logbook

Checkmate Safety ensures your business remains fully compliant with these requirements.

What Our Technicians Do

During each service visit, our technicians carry out:

✓ 90-minute discharge testing

Simulating a power outage to ensure lights operate for the required duration.

✓ Visual inspection of all fittings

Checking for damage, failed lamps, missing covers or poor placement.

✓ Cleaning of diffusers and lenses

Improving brightness and performance.

✓ Function testing

Ensuring lights automatically switch to emergency mode when needed.

✓ Reporting & Compliance Documentation

You receive a detailed service report including:

• Pass/fail results

• Asset list

• Locations of all lights

• Details of any faults or repairs required
