Yes, installing and maintaining VFP exit and emergency lighting assists your building in meeting the performance requirements for emergency illumination and exit signage set out in the National Construction Code referenced standards, helping demonstrate fire safety compliance.  

Battery backups in VFP exit and emergency lighting systems automatically take over when mains power fails, providing reliable illumination for a minimum period as required by Australian standards so that occupants have enough time to evacuate. 

In VFP systems exit lighting provides continuous or standby illumination of exit signage that identifies exits and evacuation paths, while emergency lighting provides broader illumination of corridors, stairwells and spaces during power outages so that people can safely navigate to those exits. 

VFP exit and emergency lighting should be placed above exit doors, along escape routes, stairwells and other key decision points so that occupants can clearly see the path to safety even in low visibility conditions caused by smoke or power failure. 

Exit and emergency lighting systems supplied or serviced by VFP should be tested at regular intervals to remain compliant, with semi-annual duration tests of at least 90 minutes and routine inspections carried out according to the specifications laid out in AS/NZS 2293 and recorded in a log book. 

VFP exit and emergency lighting products and systems are designed to comply with Australian and New Zealand Standard AS/NZS 2293, which sets out requirements for emergency lighting and exit signs including design, installation, operation, testing and maintenance obligations. 

Installing VFP exit and emergency lighting in commercial buildings ensures that exit routes and stairwells remain visible during power outages, fire emergencies, or evacuation situations, reducing confusion and panic and helping occupants reach safety as required under Australian safety standards. 

Exit and emergency lighting refers to specialised lighting systems and illuminated exit signs that automatically activate during a power failure or emergency to guide occupants safely along egress paths and toward exits. VFP provides compliant exit and emergency lighting products and services designed to clearly illuminate escape routes when standard lighting fails and to support safe evacuation.
