  • Visual Inspection: Check all units for physical damage, cleanliness, and secure mounting.
  • Functional Test: Activate emergency lighting for a minimum of 30 seconds using the test switch or power failure simulation.

  • Record Keeping: Maintain a log of all inspections, noting any deficiencies and corrective actions taken.


Annual Inspection & Testing

  • Component Inspection: Examine wiring, charging circuits, bulbs, and connections for wear or damage.
