Frequently asked questions about EL Site Compliance

When is a compliance assessment needed?

A compliance assessment is recommended when taking over responsibility for a building, after significant building alterations, when a fire risk assessment identifies concerns about emergency lighting, or when there is no existing documentation.

What happens if the existing system is non-compliant?

Non-compliance items are prioritised as immediate (safety risk), short-term (to be addressed within agreed timescale), or advisory (improvement recommended). The responsible person must act on immediate items without delay.
