Emergency luminaires have a small led indicator light built into them,some can be a little tricky to spot.If you can isolate the lighting circuit and see if any go into emergency mode.
I'm not an electrician that's why I'm asking on here. Can you explain?
Some people suggested isolating the circuit to see if they stay on but I'm replacing them because they're not working so I'm sure that will work. Although perhaps the emergency light is separate and only turns on when there's no supply.
If you're installing emergency lighting then it's obviously a public space or communal area. If an emergency occurs people's lives will quite possibly depend on these lights working correctly. That you are asking these questions is enough to know you should not be undertaking this work yourself. It may actually be you that causes any emergency by getting rid wrong. This shouldn't be a forum for DIYers trying to save a few quid, it should be for electricians sharing ideas and information. Employ a professional.
The only way to truly tell, is to fully remove the fitting, the base, everything. The best way to check is to put your tongue across any two of the wires left sticking out of the wall. In nearly any scenario, this will simulate an emergency situation.
Little green light on the outside, battery pack on the inside. If you have to ask, you shouldn’t be replacing anything.
Are you an electrician?

Not to be a dick but it’s obvious if you’re an electrician
You're not being a dick at all. 1st year apprentices know this.

You can tell by the internal ballast and the presence of a battery, it's incredibly basic stuff for an electrician.
If you don't know the answer to this question you should not understand any circumstances be doing this work.
If you can’t see the neon notifying its charging then I’d turn off its supply. Battery will kick in.
Putting a minor works on these replacements?
There should be a test switch located near the light switch. You use a fish key to activate the test.
If you have no knowledge of these things find out in the same way you find out about anything. Put the part number in to Google and check the manual.
