Emergency Lighting Review
- Professional emergency lighting inspections and compliance reviews for residential and commercial properties, aligned with BS 5266.
Overview
Professional Emergency Lighting Reviews You Can Rely On
Emergency lighting is a critical safety requirement for any building, ensuring safe evacuation during a fire, power failure, or emergency situation. Under the Fire Safety Order 2005 and BS 5266 standards, the Responsible Person must ensure that all emergency lighting is properly installed, regularly tested, and maintained in full working order.
At ProFire Compliance, we provide clear and structured emergency lighting reviews designed to help landlords, managing agents, and business owners verify that their systems meet all legal and safety requirements. Our assessments focus on functionality, compliance, and suitability based on the specific layout and risk profile of your building.
These reviews play an essential role in supporting your overall Fire Risk Assessment and ensuring that escape routes remain fully illuminated and safe at all times. With accurate reporting and expert guidance, we help you maintain a safer environment and achieve full compliance with current fire-safety standards.

Your Partner in Fire Risk Assessments
All assessments follow PAS 79 methodology and are completed by qualified Fire Risk Assessors at Associate level with the Institute of Fire Safety Managers (IFSM).
