School Emergency Lighting Audits from Trusted NICEIC Contractors
Schools and academies must ensure their emergency lighting meets BS 5266-1:2025 standards. This includes correct lighting levels, 3-hour duration performance, compliant signage, and safe escape route illumination.

Our engineers understand the layout, safeguarding requirements and access restrictions within schools, and we plan all inspections around your timetable, including early mornings, inset days and school holidays.
