Ensuring your system meets AS 2293.2 compliance and keeps people safe
Emergency Lighting Testing & Commissioning
Emergency and exit lighting is one of those things you don’t think about—until it’s needed. At GLS Electrical, we carry out full testing, inspection, and commissioning of emergency lighting systems to ensure your building stays compliant with AS/NZS 2293.2 and ready for any emergency.
This isn’t just a box to tick. In a real-world power outage, fire, or evacuation, emergency lighting can mean the difference between a safe exit and a serious risk. We work with commercial, retail, industrial, and public buildings to ensure every light, sign, and battery backup is up to standard.
What Is AS 2293.2?
AS/NZS 2293.2 outlines the maintenance and inspection requirements for emergency lighting systems in buildings across Australia. It’s a legal standard that building owners and facility managers are required to follow.
Key requirements include:
Six-monthly and annual testing
Discharge testing to confirm battery duration
Inspection of fittings and signage
Correct operation during simulated power failure
Logbook record-keeping for compliance
Failing to meet these standards can lead to fines, insurance issues, and serious safety risks if a real emergency occurs.
