Emergency Lighting Test Register
Help for electricians completing an emergency lighting test register in Tradie Forms.
The emergency lighting test register records discharge testing of exit and emergency lights, aligned with AS/NZS 2293.2. Add each fitting as you test it, record the result, and download a signed PDF for the client and your records.
This is a Tradie Forms designed register, not a government form. There is no official layout to match, so the PDF is a clean register that grows extra pages as you add fittings.

Use Duplicate for similar fittings. It copies the description, type, duration, and location. It clears the fitting ID, result, dates, actions, and notes.
The PDF shows each fitting as a stacked record instead of a wide table. Long registers continue across pages with one consistent footer and page count.
After download
Give a copy to the client or site manager and keep one for your records. The register is your evidence of in-service testing, so store it against the job. Check AS/NZS 2293.2 for the retest intervals that apply.
