Emergency Exit Light Testing & Compliance in Adelaide
At VD Fire Safety Adelaide, we provide professional emergency and exit lighting testing and servicing to keep your property safe and compliant with South Australian fire safety regulations.
Emergency and exit lighting are critical safety systems designed to provide illumination and guidance during power outages, fires, or other emergencies. In a crisis, these lights help people find exits quickly and safely, reducing panic and ensuring orderly evacuation.
Why Emergency & Exit Lighting Matters
- Compliance requirement: Councils and building regulations require all commercial, industrial, and certain residential properties to have fully functioning exit and emergency lighting.
- Life safety: In an emergency, clear lighting ensures that staff, visitors, or tenants can evacuate quickly and safely.
- Risk reduction: A well-lit path minimises the risk of injury or confusion during evacuations.

Frequently Ask Questions
What's involved in an emergency and exit lighting service visit?
A typical service includes a 90 minute discharge test to simulate a power failure, a visual inspection of globes, fittings, and directional signage, battery replacement where needed, and an update to your compliance logbook. We also provide reporting so you have a clear record on file. If you’d like to know what your property needs, contact us for a free quote. |
Do I get a compliance certificate after emergency lighting testing?
Yes, once testing is complete we issue a compliance certificate confirming your emergency and exit lighting meets AS 2293 standards, which you can keep on file for council audits or insurance purposes. Certificates are typically provided the same day. Get in touch if you need a previous certificate reissued. |
What happens if an emergency light fails during testing?
If a light fails the discharge test, it’s usually due to a faulty battery, globe, or wiring issue, and we’ll repair or replace the unit on the spot where possible. We’ll always confirm with you before any additional work is carried out. Contact us if you’d like more detail on what a failed test might involve for your property.
Can emergency lighting testing be combined with other fire safety services?
Yes, many clients combine emergency and exit lighting testing with services like smoke detector and fire alarm testing or fire extinguisher testing during the same visit. This reduces disruption and makes scheduling easier. Reach out and we can arrange a combined service for your building. |
