Building owns are required to provide a safe and easily navigable path for occupants to evacuate a building in an emergency, regardless of power outages or other disruptions. This includes providing sufficient illumination on evacuation routes, with battery backup for at least 90 minutes, and clearly displaying exit signs.
The required types and locations of emergency exit lighting and signage are governed by the National Construction Code (NCC) and the Australian Standard AS/NZS 2293.1.
Once installed, Australian Standard 2293.2 requires emergency and exit lights to be tested every six months, to ensure proper functioning emergency evacuation lighting systems and ensure the battery backups work for at least 90 minutes. The testing must be done by a licensed electrician with an understanding of the AS2293 standard.
Records of the inspections and tests form part of the annual AESMR report that every owner of a building in a designated class is required to complete.
