MEETING THE HIGHEST STANDARDS OF SAFETY
- A controlled test that simulates a mains power failure to confirm the system provides at least 90 minutes of emergency illumination — the minimum required by AS 2293.1-2018, Clause 2.3.2.
EMERGENCY LIGHTS

This is a legal requirement under the Environmental Planning & Assessment Regulation 2021 (EP&A Reg) and must be tested in accordance with the Australian Standards (AS 1851-2012 & AS 2293.2-2019).
