What this sheet is for

Keep a dated history of emergency lighting tests with the failures and repairs recorded beside them, not just a note that a test happened.

Who it is for

Village halls, churches, small offices, shops, clubs, HMOs and anyone responsible for a building the public enters.

How to use it

  1. Write your test regime and where it comes from into the header.
  2. Record which fittings failed, by reference, not just how many.
  3. Record the repair date on the same line as the failure.
  4. Keep the sheet with the fire documentation for the building.

What is on the sheet

The layout is fixed at a size that fits both A4 and US Letter, so the A4 and Letter files are visually identical and print at full size on either. Rows are set at a height that an adult can actually write a date and a few words into with a pen — most printable tables are built in a word processor and never tested with one.

Questions

How often should emergency lighting be tested, and for how long?

That depends on local rules and on the system installed, and both differ enough that no figure is printed here. Your installer's documentation and your local requirements are the sources.
