Emergency lighting function and duration test

Self-test fittings are the rare case where the statutory test runs itself. The interval is unchanged; the evidence goes from a clipboard to a panel export.

What does an emergency lighting function and duration test involve?

Emergency lighting function and duration test checks: luminaire lit on mains failure, duration achieved (3 hours or the design duration), battery state. Observed by self-test luminaires reporting to a panel, or a manual key-switch test with a walk-round. Monthly function test and annual full-duration test are set by BS 5266-1, AS 2293.2 and NFPA 101. Self-test fittings automate the test; they do not change its interval.

the interval is set by law or a statutory code and stays on the calendar

Condition that replaces the interval
Partly. Self-testing luminaires run their own monthly function test and annual duration test and report the result to a central panel; the test still happens on the interval, the person walking round does not.
Reading that proves it
Luminaire lit on mains failure, duration achieved (3 hours or the design duration), battery state
Why the interval stays
Monthly function test and annual full-duration test are set by BS 5266-1, AS 2293.2 and NFPA 101. Self-test fittings automate the test; they do not change its interval.
Evidence an auditor accepts
Test log per luminaire with date, function or duration, result, and the panel report where self-test is fitted
First move
If the fittings are self-testing, export the panel log monthly and file it as the test record; if not, the walk-round stays.
