[QUOTE="Evans Electric, post: 503118, member: 1408"] This is exactly right ...... Binky's detectors MAY be individual smokes , fed locally & not interlinked ...whatever ..... shouldn't be coded as they are outside the EICR remit ...a comment yes , then someone else,s decision , architect , fire chief , council as to whether its OK or not . EM lighting can be either , own circuit or attached to local . Personally I think they should be attached to ...say ...the staircase circuit ...not own circuit . Same with DOMESTIC smokes ...if a dedicated breaker trips , good chance no one will know , I've found quite a few dedicated smoke alarm circuits OFF . People tend not to look at their consumer units on a regular basis . As I always say , we have to remember we are NOT the Electric Police ...... we may be asked to install fire alarms / EM lighting but its not our business to start recommending etc . Same with plastic consumers ....yes we now fit metal ones but theres no remit that I know of for ripping plastic ones out . [/QUOTE]
