Your Legal Obligation: AFSS Emergency Lighting Compliance
Under NSW Building legislation and Australian Standard AS/NZS 2293, all commercial buildings, strata complexes, and multi-tenancy facilities must maintain fully functional emergency and exit lighting systems. An Annual Fire Safety Statement (AFSS) must be lodged with your local council each year, confirming that all essential fire safety measures — including emergency luminaires and exit signs — have been professionally inspected and tested to the required standard.
Common Emergency Lighting Failures We Rectify
- DALI line address conflicts — Duplicate ballast addresses causing entire emergency zones to fail discharge tests
- Failed DALI emergency drivers — Luminaires not switching to battery mode during mains power failure simulation
- Broken DALI communication loops — Cable breaks preventing the monitoring controller from polling emergency luminaire status
- Depleted battery packs — Emergency fittings failing the mandatory 90-minute discharge duration test
- Exit sign lamp failures — LED exit signs with failed drivers or broken illumination circuits
