Emergency Lighting Testing & Compliance

Proper testing and record-keeping are legal requirements for many businesses and commercial premises.

At H3 Fire & Security, we help clients remain compliant by providing thorough testing and certification services.

Monthly Emergency Light Testing

Monthly tests involve briefly simulating a power failure to confirm that emergency lighting units activate correctly and remain functional.

These inspections help identify:

Our engineers verify:

  • Battery capacity

Detailed records and reports are provided following every inspection.
