🔦 HOW TO CHOOSE THE CORRECT RESPONSE TIER
(Emergency Lighting Compliance Call-Out)
You must select a Response Tier when booking this service.
The tier determines attendance speed and cost, not the compliance standard.
🟢 Tier 1 – Planned (3–5 Working Days)
Choose this if:
-
You are booking routine annual compliance
-
No immediate enforcement or deadline exists
-
The venue is operating normally
Examples:
Scheduled annual test, landlord or insurer requirement.
Cost: Lowest rate
✅ Recommended for most venues
🟠 Tier 2 – Urgent (Within 48 Hours)
Choose this if:
-
Certification is overdue
-
An audit, inspection, or landlord deadline is imminent
-
You need documentation quickly to remain compliant
Examples:
Upcoming EHO visit, landlord compliance request.
Cost: Higher rate
🔴 Tier 3 – Emergency (Within 24 Hours)
Choose this only if:
-
You are non-compliant
-
Trading is at risk without certification
-
Enforcement action or closure risk exists
Examples:
Failed inspection, enforcement notice, immediate compliance demand.
Cost: Highest rate
⚠️ Important:
Urgency does not override compliance requirements.
Systems must pass testing to receive certification.
🧠 Important Compliance Note (Short & Safe)
Emergency lighting certification is typically required annually under BS 5266-1.
Monthly functional testing remains the responsibility of the venue operator.
This protects you from being seen as the compliance manager.
QUICK DECISION GUIDE (FOR STAFF)
Ask yourself:
-
Is anyone at risk right now?
→ Yes → Tier 3
→ No → Go to 2 -
Will this seriously affect trading within 48 hours?
→ Yes → Tier 2
→ No → Tier 1 -
Not sure what the problem is?
→ Diagnostic Call-Out
FINAL RULE (THIS PREVENTS PROBLEMS)
Tiers control urgency, not importance.
Only choose Tier 3 when immediate attendance is genuinely required.
CALL-OUT SERVICE TERMS:
A call-out service constitutes an attendance to investigate the reported issue, assess risk, and make the area safe where reasonably practicable.
The service does not include permanent repair works, materials, specialist subcontractors, access equipment, or certification unless expressly agreed in writing.
The service is delivered based on the information provided at the time of booking. Where the issue differs materially, involves additional disciplines, or requires diagnostic attendance, the booking may be reclassified and charged accordingly.
Selection of response tier determines response time and pricing and remains chargeable irrespective of outcome.
