What is 90-minute emergency light testing?

90-minute emergency light testing is a mandatory compliance check that ensures emergency lights can operate for at least 90 minutes during a power failure. This test confirms that lighting systems meet AS 2293 standards, which are required for safety audits and regulatory inspections.

Why is 90-minute testing required by law?

The 90-minute discharge test ensures emergency lighting will function long enough to safely evacuate buildings during outages. It's a legal requirement under Australian fire safety regulations to protect occupants and maintain operational readiness in case of emergencies.

How often should 90-minute emergency light testing be done?

AS 2293 requires monthly visual checks and an annual 90-minute discharge test for all emergency lighting systems. These regular tests help identify battery degradation or system faults before they become critical issues.

If any lights fail the test, immediate repairs or component replacements are needed to restore compliance. Fire Facilities Plus provides prompt follow-up services to correct failures and retest systems to ensure full adherence to AS 2293 requirements.
