ROI Impact
Emergency light test automation schedules required monthly and annual tests, sends notifications to personnel, records results automatically, generates compliance reports, and maintains complete audit trails without manual intervention. This ensures continuous regulatory compliance while reducing administrative work by up to 85%.
How This Automation Works
Scheduled Test Date → Complete Test Documentation
Configure Testing Schedule
Set up monthly 30-second and annual 90-minute testing intervals based on regulatory requirements. Define responsible personnel, notification preferences, and specific testing protocols for each facility or zone.
Automatic Test Notifications
The system sends scheduled notifications to assigned technicians via email, SMS, or mobile app alerts with testing instructions, equipment locations, and required documentation forms.
Record Test Results
Technicians submit test results through mobile devices or web interfaces, documenting pass/fail status, battery performance, light functionality, and any observed deficiencies with photos and notes.
Generate Compliance Documentation
The system automatically creates test logs, compliance certificates, and regulatory reports. Failed tests trigger work orders with priority levels and deadline tracking for corrective maintenance.
Schedule Next Test Cycle
Upon completion, the system automatically schedules the next required test based on regulatory intervals, updates maintenance calendars, and ensures continuous compliance without manual intervention.
How It Works
Emergency lighting testing is a critical compliance requirement that often falls through the cracks due to manual scheduling and inconsistent documentation. This automation system schedules regular tests, sends notifications to responsible personnel, records test results, and maintains comprehensive compliance logs. By automating the entire emergency light testing process, organizations ensure continuous regulatory compliance, reduce liability risks, and free facility managers from repetitive administrative tasks. The system integrates with building management platforms, maintenance databases, and compliance reporting tools to create a seamless testing workflow that meets NFPA, OSHA, and local fire code requirements.
The Trigger
The system initiates automatically based on configured testing intervals (monthly for 30-second tests, annually for 90-minute duration tests) or can be triggered manually for ad-hoc inspections. Custom schedules align with specific regulatory requirements for your jurisdiction.
The Action
The system sends test notifications to designated personnel, records test outcomes (pass/fail status, battery performance, light functionality), generates compliance reports, updates maintenance logs, and automatically schedules the next required test. Failed tests trigger immediate work orders and alert facility managers.
Common Use Cases in Fire safety

- Educational institutions coordinating emergency lighting tests across multiple campus buildings with centralized oversight and reporting
- Manufacturing plants tracking emergency egress lighting in compliance with OSHA requirements and maintaining records for safety inspections
- Property management companies managing emergency lighting compliance across diverse building portfolios with standardized testing protocols
- Hotels and hospitality venues ensuring guest safety with regular automated testing and immediate response to equipment failures
Results You Can Expect
Guaranteed Compliance
Never miss required monthly or annual tests. Automated scheduling ensures every emergency light is tested on time according to NFPA 101, OSHA, and local fire code requirements, eliminating compliance gaps and reducing liability exposure.
Reduced Administrative Burden
Eliminate manual test logs, spreadsheets, and paper records. The system automatically generates, stores, and organizes all compliance documentation in digital format, ready for instant retrieval during inspections.
Faster Issue Resolution
Failed tests immediately trigger work orders with detailed deficiency information, photos, and location data. Maintenance teams receive instant notifications and can track repair status through completion, ensuring safety issues are resolved quickly.
Complete Audit Trail
Maintain comprehensive digital records of all tests, repairs, and compliance activities with timestamps, technician information, and photographic evidence. Historical data proves ongoing compliance during inspections and provides valuable trend analysis.
Frequently Asked Questions About This Automation
Emergency lights require monthly 30-second functional tests and annual 90-minute full-duration tests per NFPA 101 and local fire codes. Automated systems schedule both test types at proper intervals and send reminders to ensure compliance.
