How often must emergency power testing be conducted?

Emergency power testing must be conducted monthly to ensure that emergency systems are functional and capable of supporting their intended loads during an outage. This frequency is established to verify that the emergency lighting, generator, or other backup systems are in good working order.

Monthly testing allows for early detection of any issues or failures, which is critical in maintaining safety standards and compliance with local codes and regulations. Regular monthly testing of emergency power systems is essential to ensure readiness and reliability in the event of an actual power failure.
