Emergency lighting may prove to be a crucial factor in the safety of your employees and customers. Commercial Fire inspects in accordance with NFPA 101 Life Safety Code and OSHA 29, as well as the local Authority Having Jurisdiction (AHJ).
There are two types of emergency light inspections: Emergency/Exit Ligh (Bulb Test) and Emergency/Exit Light 90 minute (Load Test). The emergency light load test is more thorough, revealing more information about the current condition of your emergency lighting and, more importantly, how it will perform in a true emergency situation for an extended period of time. A bulb test is a quick check inspection which verifies if a light is functioning in the event of a power loss.
Commercial Fire will conduct inspections as required by local Authority Having Jurisdiction (AHJ) to include:
Bulb Test
- Ensure the emergency light equipment is located in its correct position
- Inspect the exterior housing for physical damage
- Perform a 30 second push test to verify unit illuminates
- Confirm lamps are light and properly aimed on a path of egress
- Any defect found will be noted and sent to your attention with a cost quotation for repairs
Load Test
- Perform a through exterior examination
- Perform an operational test of the batteries and lighting system for 90 minutes
- Inspect condition and voltage of the batteries and verify manufacture dates
- Inspect AC/DC lamps or bulbs for damage and proper operation
- Verify charging unit is operational and functioning as designed
- Install certification indicating compliance and confirming inspection
- Any defect found will be noted and sent to your attention with a cost quotation for repairs and re-certification
