Fire protection equipment, not an accessory
Emergency and escape lighting inspection, measurements, report
Operation test after power failure, intensity measurement on the escape route, operating time of luminaires and report for the facility logbook. We perform the inspection in accordance with fire protection regulations — at least once a year.

Emergency lighting is fire protection equipment — the obligation of inspections results from the regulations on fire protection of buildings, and the required parameters from standards (including PN-EN 1838).
Scope
What the inspection includes.
- Inventory of emergency and escape luminaires on the facility plan
- Operation test after simulated power failure
- Measurement of light intensity on the axis of the escape route
- Checking the autonomous operating time of luminaires
- Assessment of pictograms and visibility of escape signs
- Report with a list of defects and recommendations
- Repairs and replacements of luminaires or batteries upon approval
Emergency ≠ escape
- escape lighting illuminates the escape route and signs,
- standby lighting allows work to be finished or safely interrupted,
- each function is tested differently — and each must have a report.
The PN-EN 1838 standard specifies, among others, a minimum of 1 lx on the axis of the escape route and 5 lx at fire protection equipment.
Process
From inventory to entry in the facility logbook.
- InventoryLuminaires, pictograms, facility plan.
- Failure testSimulated power failure of the lighting circuit.
- MeasurementsIntensity on the escape route — grid of points.
- AutonomyOperating time of luminaires on batteries.
- ReportResults, defects, recommendations, date of the next test.
- RepairsReplacements of luminaires and batteries after cost approval.
Proof
A report that stands up to any inspection.
- List of luminaires with status: functional / faulty / to be monitored
- Illuminance measurement results with points marked on the floor plan
- Measured autonomous operating time, not just declared
- Recommendations with priority levels and cost estimates
- Next inspection date in the calendar — we will remind you ourselves
- Document ready for the State Fire Service (PSP), insurer, and property owner
One visit, two obligations.
We combine emergency lighting inspections with electrical installation measurements — fewer site visits and one consistent set of documents.
FAQ
Questions about emergency lighting.
How often should inspections be carried out?
At least once a year — emergency lighting is classified as fire protection equipment and must undergo inspections in accordance with the manufacturer's manual, at least annually. The PN-EN 50172 standard additionally requires short functional tests throughout the year and an annual full duration test.
What does the standard require for measurements?
PN-EN 1838 specifies, among other things, a minimum of 1 lx on the centreline of the escape route, 0.5 lx in open areas, and 5 lx near fire-fighting equipment and alarm points, as well as an operating time of at least 1 hour. We document the measurements with points marked on the floor plan.
What does the price depend on?
On the number of luminaires and measurement points, the size and accessibility of the facility, and the working hours — some tests are more convenient to perform outside of business hours. Once you provide the number of luminaires, we will give you an estimated price range before our arrival.
Do you replace luminaires and batteries?
Yes. We repair faults identified in the report after cost approval — from battery replacement to installing missing luminaires along with updating the layout plan.
