Why Emergency Lighting Testing Is a Legal Requirement in Ireland

Under Irish health and safety law, businesses and public buildings are required to maintain fully operational emergency lighting systems at all times. These systems must illuminate escape routes, exits, stairwells, and high-risk areas in the event of power loss.

As per the IS 3217:2013+A1:2017 standard, emergency lighting systems must be tested quarterly, with a full annual duration test. Neglecting these tests can lead to prosecution, invalid insurance, and significant risks to life in an emergency.

Drish Electrical ensures you remain compliant by delivering scheduled testing with full documentation.
