# Emergency Lighting Test Register (/docs/form-guides/national/electrical/national-emergency-lighting-test-register)



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.

## Register [#register]

One card per fitting. New rows can carry the previous location and test date, and the default retest interval suggests the next-due date.

* **Fitting ID** - for example EX-014.
* **Fitting Description** and **Location** - what the fitting is and where it is installed.
* **Result**, **Test Date**, and **Next Due** - passed fittings need a next-due date.
* **Fitting details** - type (exit sign, emergency batten, and so on) and minutes sustained.
* **Failed fittings** - select the action taken and add the failure details.

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 [#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.
