Emergency & Exit Lighting
Emergency & Exit Light Inspections
Keep your occupants safe and your facility code-compliant with professional emergency and exit light testing throughout Greater Houston.
Emergency and exit lighting are your building's last line of defense when the power goes out. When an emergency strikes, properly functioning exit signs and emergency lights guide occupants safely out of the building — and failing equipment can cost lives. Titan Fire & Safety provides thorough inspection, testing, and documentation services to keep your emergency lighting systems performing when it matters most.
Why Emergency & Exit Light Inspections Matter
NFPA 101 (Life Safety Code) and local fire codes require that emergency and exit lighting systems be tested regularly to confirm they will function during a power failure or emergency event. A 30-second functional test is required monthly, and a 90-minute full-duration test is required annually. Failing to maintain these systems puts occupants at risk and exposes your business to code violations, fines, and liability.

When Inspections Are Required
NFPA 101 requires a 30-second functional test monthly and a full 90-minute battery duration test annually. Both tests must be documented and records retained. Many jurisdictions also require inspections as part of the certificate of occupancy process and during annual fire marshal inspections. Titan provides complete documentation after every visit so you are always prepared for an inspection.
