Self-testing emergency lights BS 5266-1:2016

Tom D

I just need confirmation as I couldn't find the info in the BS5266 book.

If I choose self-testing emergency lights for my project do I still need an "old fashioned" emergency lighting test key switch to do regular monthly or annual tests?

Self-testing lights are smart enough to indicate visually or audibly once the problem has been detected so I guess it is not necessary to have test key switches as well but some places still do it, why?

    Yes in my view a conventional test switch is still required.

    This is is still expected, demanded, or required by most clients and their consultants, or maintenance contractors, even if needless.
