• The CTU has two test functions 30 min and 3hr
• 3hr testing is done annually to ensure battery’s last 3hr and over (1 test annually)
•  30 min testing is done every 3 months (3 test annually)
• A report should be produced and kept for the contractor and client
• Emergency lighting repairs should be carried out on any light that failed on testing
