⚠️

Brisbane businesses must have emergency exit lights tested every 6 months — and batteries discharge-tested annually.

Under AS/NZS 2293.2 and Queensland’s Building Fire Safety Regulation 2008, all commercial premises must have emergency exit lighting inspected every 6 months and batteries tested to the 90-minute minimum capacity standard annually. Non-compliant lighting is a serious fire safety risk and can result in audit failures and insurance complications.

Most Brisbane businesses don’t know their emergency exit lights have failed until there’s a blackout — or a fire safety audit. Exit light batteries degrade silently over time. A fitting that illuminates normally under mains power may provide only 10 minutes of backup in an emergency rather than the 90 minutes required by law. The only way to confirm compliance is a discharge test.

As part of our Brisbane fire protection services, Essential Fire Protection provides full AS/NZS 2293.2 testing and maintenance for emergency exit lighting across all Brisbane suburbs — including lamp tests, 90-minute battery discharge tests, on-the-spot replacements, and a dated compliance report after every visit.

What Exit Light Testing Includes

Our licensed Brisbane technicians carry out the full AS/NZS 2293.2 service in a single visit — not just a visual check. Every fitting is tested and every result is documented in a compliance report.

💡
Individual Lamp Test
Every exit sign and emergency light fitting is manually activated by pressing the test button to confirm it illuminates and operates correctly. Failed or dim lamps are identified on the spot.
🔋
90-Minute Battery Capacity Test
The most critical compliance test — a full or simulated discharge test confirms that battery backup provides the minimum 90 minutes of illumination required by AS/NZS 2293.2. Batteries that fail capacity are replaced immediately.
🔄
Lamp & LED Replacement
Failed or degraded lamps and LEDs are replaced during the same visit. We carry common replacements on the van — most Brisbane businesses are restored to full compliance in a single call.
⚡
Battery Replacement
Batteries below the AS 2293 minimum capacity threshold are replaced on the spot. We confirm the replacement battery provides the required 90-minute backup before leaving site.
👁️
Placement & Visibility Check
Every fitting is assessed for signage legibility, correct mounting height, physical condition, and unobstructed sightlines per AS 2293 requirements. Blocked or damaged fittings are flagged for rectification.
📋
AS 2293 Compliance Report
A dated test record listing every fitting tested, its result, and any replacements made — issued within 24 hours of the visit. Ready for body corporate, building managers, insurers, or a fire safety audit.

Frequently Asked Questions

How often do emergency exit lights need to be tested in Brisbane?
Every 6 months under AS/NZS 2293.2. A full 90-minute battery discharge test is required annually. Brisbane businesses that delay testing risk audit failures and non-compliant lighting in the event of a real emergency. We track your due dates and remind you — so there are no gaps in your compliance history.
What is the 90-minute battery test and is it mandatory?
The 90-minute battery test simulates a mains power failure to verify that your emergency lighting battery backup provides at least 90 minutes of continuous illumination — the minimum required by AS/NZS 2293.2. It is mandatory annually for all commercial premises in Queensland. A battery that has degraded below capacity will appear functional under normal power but fail in an actual emergency. Testing is the only way to confirm it will work when needed.
What is the difference between exit lights and emergency lights?
Exit lights are the illuminated green signs — the EXIT text or running figure arrow — that show where the exits are. Emergency lights are separate fittings (typically a wall or ceiling-mounted floodlight style) that illuminate the floor and walkway area so people can see where to walk during a power failure or evacuation. Both are tested together in the same AS 2293 service visit, and both must be capable of operating for a minimum of 90 minutes on battery backup.
What happens if an exit light fails the test in Brisbane?
We advise you on the spot and replace failed lamps or below-capacity batteries during the same visit in most cases. A fitting that cannot be immediately rectified is documented in your compliance report with a recommended action. Under Queensland’s Building Fire Safety Regulation 2008, failed emergency lighting must be rectified promptly — if a replacement fitting is required, we can source and install a compliant replacement.
Can you replace failed lamps and batteries during the same visit in Brisbane?
Yes — in most cases. Our Brisbane technicians carry common lamp and battery replacements on the van. Failed lamps and below-capacity batteries are replaced during the test visit so your compliance is restored without needing a follow-up. Unusual fitting types or specialist batteries may need to be ordered — we’ll advise and schedule a prompt return visit if required.
Do I need a licensed technician to test emergency lighting in Queensland?
Yes. Emergency exit light testing in Queensland must be carried out by a licensed contractor. Essential Fire Protection holds QBCC Licence 1171614 and our technicians are trained and accredited to AS/NZS 2293.2. Self-testing by building staff does not satisfy the compliance requirement and will not be accepted during a fire safety audit or insurance review.
