IS 3217

When the Power Goes, Your People Need a Way Out.

Emergency lighting is the system your building must have but never needs to use — until the moment it’s critical. If it isn’t tested, certified, and positioned correctly, it will fail the one time it matters. Irish law requires it. Your people deserve it to work.

Non-Compliant Emergency Lighting Is More Common Than You Think

Emergency lighting fails compliance checks for three main reasons

Inadequate coverage escape routes, stairwells, or direction changes not illuminated · Batteries that no longer hold full rated charge never tested to find out · No written test records no evidence of compliance for your insurer or fire authority

What We Design and Install

Emergency Escape Lighting

Illuminates every part of every escape route to IS 3217 lux levels. Covers corridors, stairwells, changes of direction, and final exits. Battery backup for the full required duration — minimum one hour.

Open Area Anti-Panic Lighting

Prevents panic in large open spaces by maintaining minimum illumination throughout. Essential for open-plan offices, retail floors, and assembly areas.

High-Risk Task Area Lighting

For areas where machinery, medical procedures, or hazardous materials require safe shutdown before evacuation. Enhanced lux levels to IS 3217 high-risk requirements.

Emergency Exit Signs

LED illuminated emergency exit and directional signs. Correctly positioned at every decision point. Compliant pictogram standards. Battery maintained for full emergency duration.

When did your emergency lighting last have a full-duration test?

We’ll test every luminaire and give you a written certificate — or let you know what needs to change.We’ll audit your existing system and tell you what’s wrong — free of charge.

What Compliant Emergency Lighting Gives You

Safe evacuation for every person in your building in every power failure scenario
IS 3217 compliance — your insurance is valid, fire authority requirements are met
Written monthly and annual test records — the evidence your insurer requires
Peace of mind that the system works — because it has been tested to prove it

Emergency lighting that has never had a full-duration test may not have enough battery to last a real emergency. Book a test today.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is emergency lighting legally required for my business?

Yes. Emergency escape lighting is required in all Irish commercial premises under the Fire Services Acts, the Safety, Health and Welfare at Work Act 2005, and Technical Guidance Document B under the Building Regulations.

How long must emergency lighting last?

IS 3217 requires a minimum of one hour of battery backup for most commercial buildings. We calculate the required duration during the survey.

What testing is required for emergency lighting?

A brief monthly functional test confirming each luminaire activates, and an annual full-duration discharge test confirming battery capacity. Written records must be maintained. We cover both under our service contracts.

Can you retrofit emergency lighting into our existing building?

Yes. We design and install into existing commercial buildings with minimal disruption, using the most cost-effective and compliant method for your specific building.

Do you service emergency lighting systems you didn't install?

Yes. We carry out an initial condition audit, advise on any remedial work, and take over all required testing and certification going forward.
