Publication(s)”). Their preparation is entrusted to technical committees; any IEC National Committee interested
in the subject dealt with may participate in this preparatory work. International, governmental and non-
governmental organizations liaising with the IEC also participate in this preparation. IEC collaborates closely
with the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) in accordance with conditions determined by
agreement between the two organizations.
2) The formal decisions or agreements of IEC on technical matters express, as nearly as possible, an international
consensus of opinion on the relevant subjects since each technical committee has representation from all
interested IEC National Committees.
3) IEC Publications have the form of recommendations for international use and are accepted by IEC National
Committees in that sense. While all reasonable efforts are made to ensure that the technical content of IEC
Publications is accurate, IEC cannot be held responsible for the way in which they are used or for any
misinterpretation by any end user.
4) In order to promote international uniformity, IEC National Committees undertake to apply IEC Publications
transparently to the maximum extent possible in their national and regional publications. Any divergence
between any IEC Publication and the corresponding national or regional publication shall be clearly indicated in
the latter.

INTRODUCTION
Emergency lighting systems are a safety related product; their correct performance can only
be assured by systematic testing and maintenance. Conventional techniques for testing are
reliant upon manual testing procedures, and are highly susceptible to neglect. These
limitations of conventional techniques can be overcome by automating the testing process. It
is essential that automatic testing systems for emergency luminaires schedule tests reliably,
and provide timely notification of failures or degradation of performance.
Automatic test systems (ATS) will still require manual intervention to correct faults when they
are identified, and procedures should be put in place for such intervention. These systems
provide information to assist users to manage risk on their premises.
Automatic test systems for emergency escape lighting assist the operator of the building by
showing the results of tests that will have been made at prescribed intervals, without
disrupting any other electrical services. It is essential that the notification of failures or
reduction in performance be given at the earliest opportunity to enable the emergency escape
system to be restored to full operation.
The automatic test system will provide those responsible for an emergency lighting installation
with information to enable them to ensure that the installed luminaires operate correctly when
required.
The automatic test system may be part of a building management system (BMS) for making
the emergency lighting tests; this standard would only apply to the emergency lighting testing
part of a BMS.
A visual check of system components and indicators should be included in the routine of
safety staff. This check should be made regularly to ensure that the emergency luminaire is
present and intact, with lamps and indicators working and visible i.e. not obscured, covered or
painted.

4 Requirements
4.1 Safety, construction and installation instructions
All parts of the ATS shall conform to the requirements of IEC 60598-1 and IEC 60598-2-22
where these are appropriate.
NOTE 1 Guidance for the appropriate application of standards for typical systems is provided in Annex A.
The design and construction of the ATS shall ensure that only authorized personnel can
change the test duration and the frequency of tests.
The manufacturer shall include installation instructions for the ATS, which shall define any
limits of the size and compatibility of the ATS.
In the installation instructions, manufacturers shall advise the type of emergency luminaires
for which the ATS is designed.
Compliance is checked by inspection of the manufacturer’s instructions and/or of the
instruction sheet provided by the manufacturer.
The ATS shall be classified and marked according to one of the type stated in Annex B.
NOTE 2 Test circuit components may be installed within or adjacent to either self-contained or centrally powered
luminaires. Additional components may be located in a remote panel.
4.2 Monitoring of the timing circuit
In all ATS types (see Annex B), any failure of the progress of the test sequence of the ATS
shall be indicated locally on the luminaire and/or on the remote panel as applicable to the
ATS type.
NOTE The monitoring of the timing circuit is essential as the duration of testing periods and the intervals between
them need to be ensured and maintained.
This failure shall be tested by simulating a fault that interrupts the progress of the test
sequence or any other procedure that can be agreed with the system designer/manufacturer
and the test laboratory to demonstrate compliance with this clause, and checking that the
failure is indicated locally on the luminaire and/or on the remote panel as applicable to the
ATS type.
Compliance is checked by testing a sample according to the instructions provided by the
manufacturer.
4.3 Functional requirements
NOTE The tests of 4.3 and 4.4 should be carried out before the tests of Clause 5.
4.3.1 The automatic test system (ATS)
The ATS shall check the functional operation of the emergency lighting luminaires and
associated power supplies, at intervals and for the duration specified in Clause 5, to identify
any faults that would impair their operational duty. Any faults shall be indicated or reported

---------------------- Page: 15 ----------------------

SIST EN 62034:2012
– 10 – 62034 © IEC:2012
within 24 h after their detection. For types P, ER, PER and PERC, verification for a fully
loaded system may be made by extrapolation of the polling rate measured on the individual
unit.
NOTE Types P, ER, PER and PERC are defined in Annex B.
Compliance is checked by inspection and prescribed test (see Clause 5).
4.3.2 Emergency battery supply
The test system shall check and indicate if the emergency battery supply has failed.
Compliance is checked by disconnecting the battery during the test sequence – a fault shall
be indicated within the test period.
4.3.3 Lamps tested in the emergency mode
The test system shall check that any changeover device, where fitted, has powered the lamp
from the emergency power supply.
NOTE The full load from the battery is equivalent to the maximum discharge load current of the circuit, excluding
the starting period.
Compliance is checked as follows:
• if the charging current to the battery is higher than 15 % of the full load, the charger shall
be disconnected during the test;
• if the charging current is between 5 % and 15 % of the full load, the charger shall be
compensated during the test;
• if the charging current is less than 5 % of the full load, the charger should be ignored
during the test.
4.3.4 Maintained luminaires tested in emergency mode and in normal mains
condition
For maintained luminaire that do not have a changeover device, the test system shall check
that the lamp operates correctly in both the normal mains supply and failed supply conditions.
For maintained luminaries with a changeover device, test shall be carried out according to
4.3.3 with the monitoring of the battery current or output voltage to check the changeover.
Compliance is checked by inspection of the test system when the maintained lamps are
operating.
4.4 System integrity
4.4.1 Protection against system part failures and faults
