Emergency Lighting
Installation | Testing | Maintenance
Good lighting can make all the difference when it comes to an emergency situation. People may need to exit a building safely at night when there is no natural light, or could be trapped deep inside a building with no way of telling where they are going. We test your emergency lighting to ensure that it is reliable and up to the latest BS industry requirements.
Having specially fitted lighting for emergencies, highlighting safe means of escape, is crucial for the safety of all those inside a property and also so that you’re covered legally, should a situation emerge where they are needed for people to escape.
As with all emergency equipment regular inspection and testing are required and can be expensive and problematic if you hire the wrong company or if scheduled testing is missed and an issue occurs. So let us take this ongoing burden from you. We can design, install, maintain, and also carry out the required routine checks on your behalf, helping you to achieve full compliance and most of all have complete peace of mind.
Where necessary to safeguard people, emergency routes and exits requiring artificial illumination must be provided, with emergency lighting of adequate intensity in case the normal lighting fails (e.g. during a fire). Where there are defined escape routes, the relevant parts of BS5266 now require a luminance level of one lux on the centre line of the escape route.
Smart Facilities Management can advise you on the extent of protection your business will need from emergency lighting to meet the required standard.
Fire Call Point Testing
Fire call points are emergency devices located within buildings to enable a person to alert those inside the building and the fire services in the event of a fire.
Fire Alarms should be regularly tested to ensure their functionality and ability to safeguard persons and premises. British Standard BS5839-1 recommends this is undertaken weekly or as determined by the fire risk assessment. There can be penalties for non-compliance.
Many of our clients turn to Smart Facilities Management to manage the safe efficient management of their mandatory call point inspection and testing, to ensure this is completed on time and as required.

NICEIC Periodic Fixed Wiring Inspection
Many organisations currently turn to Smart Facilities Management to manage their business or rental portfolios’ electrical safety. We manage, inspect and certificate electrical installations, from large commercial installations, office blocks, schools, colleges, public buildings, to rented properties for landlords verifying that their properties are safe for people to live and work in.
Electrical installations can deteriorate with use and age, periodic fixed wire testing is vital to ensure the safety of users and the safety and serviceability of equipment. Often referred to as ‘hard wire testing,’ ‘periodic inspection’ or ‘Electrical Installation Condition Report (EICR), fixed wire testing is a regime involving professional testing of the electrical systems, circuits and services carrying electricity around a building. It covers the majority of the hard wiring throughout a building, meaning items such as main panels, distribution boards, lighting, socket outlets and air conditioning are all tested.
The National Inspection Council for Electrical Installation Contracting requires wiring to be inspected regularly by accredited individuals to carry out the checks. At Smart Facilities Management, our NICEIC engineers are certified to declare your wiring safe.
