ADS Group tests, certifies, designs and installs emergency lighting to I.S. 3217 across County Tipperary, including Clonmel, Thurles and Nenagh. The standard requires a monthly functional test and an annual full-duration discharge test, normally three hours. In processing and storage premises the fittings themselves take a beating, and that is what shortens their working life more than age does.
A fitting rated for an office will not survive a washdown bay. Water ingress and condensation kill the battery and the electronics long before the fitting looks damaged, which is why a visual check in a processing area tells you very little and a discharge test tells you everything.
An operator with buildings in Clonmel, Thurles and Nenagh gets all three on one planned visit cycle and one certificate pack, rather than three independent bookings that drift apart over a couple of years.
Illuminance on the floor falls sharply with mounting height. Coverage in storage areas has to be calculated for the actual height rather than taken from a datasheet.
Full detail on the system types, the standards and the certification process is on the Emergency Lighting page, and everything else we cover in the county is on the Tipperary page.
An engineer assesses the site, reviews the existing system and its documentation, and returns a written scope of works.
