An emergency lighting test certificate is needed when you're selling or renting out a home. This document certifies that all electrical fixtures in the house meet safety standards. It also includes information on how to perform an emergency lighting test.
What Is an Emergency Lighting Test Certificate?
A certified emergency lighting test certificate is a legal requirement for anyone who rents or sells a home. You must provide this certificate to prospective renters or buyers before they move into your home. If you sell your home, you'll also need to give the certificate to any new owners.
Why Do You Need One?
This certificate will help protect you against liability claims after an accident occurs at your rental property. It's also helpful when you're trying to rent out your home because it shows potential tenants that you've taken steps to ensure safety.

How Long Does it Take?
The time it takes to complete an emergency lighting test can vary depending on the testing environment, the size of the property and the system you have on the property. Please note that on some larger jobs we can put multiple service engineers in place if required.
Once the testing has been completed, a report will be emailed to you within 24hrs.
What Are Some Common Mistakes People Make When Getting an Emergency Lighting Test Certificate for Their Property?
One common mistake people make when getting an emergency lighting test certificate for their property is not having enough lights installed. If there aren’t enough lights installed, then the testing company will not be able to determine whether the light fixtures are functioning properly. Our engineers can advise you on whether you have sufficient lighting in place.
