Emergency And Exit Light Testing

Emergency lighting is essential to the safety of building occupants. It reduces the risk by providing illuminated evacuation paths during blackouts or electrical failure due to natural or human-made disasters.

What do these standards provide?

These standards (AS2293) provide guidance and assurance for building users and on-site visitors. The Australian sets of standards provide an assurance, as well as a blueprint for the implementation and constant maintenance of emergency lighting in buildings. These standards also provide users with an outline of the installation of an emergency lighting and exit sign lighting system. Businesses must comply with these standards to ensure all emergency lights are in perfect working conditions.

Who are those that can ensure that these standards are met?

The simple answer- Experts- If you are a business owner or manage a facility, you need to seek expert advice. You can ensure the compliance of your fire protection requirements are met and are in working order by using a professional service provider. At Tagee we ensure your workplace is safe and complies with Australian Standards.

When choosing what emergency and exit lighting will be, you need to consider the testing process of the product. Testing is a crucial part of the Australian standard, and there are obvious reasons for this. The lights need to be ready to illuminate at any time because that is what the concept of an emergency entails.

Before a product gets approved, it must pass through a series of tests. These tests are simple procedures clearly stated in the Australian Standard AS2293.

Testing Emergency Lights

Emergency and exit lights are essential; hence, they require regular inspection, testing, and maintenance. The procedures of emergency light testing have been set out in the AS 2293, and failure to comply may lead to varying degrees of penalty. Both maintained and non-maintained emergency lighting requires testing every six months to ensure that they are in excellent working condition.

The test needs to be conducted by a trained individual who is required to test the lights for a total of 90 minutes, and it requires the expert to simulate a power outage for that period.

All tests must be documented to keep records as evidence of compliance. When you hire professionals to test your emergency and exit lighting system, they set a routine maintenance program for you and provide reminders that help you stay compliant.

Testing Methods and Systems

The Australian market is characterised by various emergency lighting testing systems that tackle a large percentage of the complications that may arise during the testing process. Occupants of buildings and building managers often complain of disruption during the testing process that takes place twice yearly. This means that the work environment is always affected by a minimum of 90 minutes every six months due to emergency light testing.

Well, it doesn’t have to be that way. Self-testing and network emergency lighting systems eliminate disruptions and test switching required with traditional emergency light testing.

Pricing

The emergency test & tag report prices depend on various aspects like the size of your system and the number of lights. The charges for ten lights may start at $190.00 and $8.95 per extra light (the average price may exclude GST). For more information, call us at 044 704 9952 or drop a mail at Enquiries@tagee.com.au.

Single and Three Phase Testing

Three-phase appliances are commonly found in workshops, factories, production plants, and manufacturing facilities. These appliances use higher voltage, i.e., 415 volts instead of the typical 240 volts, and draw a higher current. Therefore, in case of defective equipment, there is a higher risk of getting electrocuted. According to Australian standards, three-phase testing can significantly reduce the risks of electrocution and fires.

Our competent and trained technicians carry out three-phase testing and tagging in accordance with the guidelines outlined in AS/NZW 3760 standard. The process is the same. We conduct a visual inspection, followed by electrical tests, followed by tagging of the three-phase equipment. A comprehensive report is provided in a soft copy for easy transfer. When equipment approaches the retest date, we send you a courtesy email and give phone reminders.

Microwave Radiation Leakage

Microwaves have become a fundamentally essential need of a household in the last decade or so. They have made lives easier by reducing the time and effort required to prepare or reheat meals. However, they have also added the risk of leakage to the list of hazards. Microwave radiation leaks can hurt not only adults and children nearby but also surrounding electrical equipment. Thus, a professional must inspect the microwave for any form of leaking as early as possible. Ensuring that radiation levels get released by microwave ovens in businesses, schools, educational and health facilities, and other locations is a must. It should be within the Australian Standard AS/NZ603335.2.25 permitted limits.
