How can I prove that emergency lights have been tested?

[Guest Robstr]

I would like some advice on emergency lighting certification. We have used a company to test a site, and a 2nd company to carry out the resulting remedial repairs. How do we go about showing the client that the emergency lights are all tested and working?

There should be a periodic test certificate record in the possession of the RP of the premises and the first company should have completed it or provided a new one. The second company should have completed the emergency lighting fault action record.

Example of the model periodic test certificate and the fault action record can be found in
