Emergency Exit Light Inspection & Testing in SOMA, CA

Emergency lighting and illuminated exit signs outline paths of egress during power blackouts, seismic activity, or smoke-filled building emergencies. Failing to service egress lights is one of the most common citations issued by local fire marshals. International Fire Inc. provides code-compliant emergency exit lighting inspections, testing, battery refits, and repairs in SOMA, CA.

Egress Testing Standards

Under NFPA 101 (Life Safety Code) and OSHA standards, property managers must execute and document two distinct test procedures:

• Monthly 30-Second Test: A brief functional test depressing the unit's exterior test button to confirm battery backup engages and emergency bulbs illuminate.
• Annual 90-Minute Discharge Test: Simulating a complete utility power failure to verify emergency batteries maintain sufficient lumen illumination for at least 90 minutes.
• Exit Sign Audits: Checking that directional arrows are clean and that double-sided exit faces illuminate consistently on AC power.
