[QUOTE="Sidewinder, post: 347540, member: 9512"] He's a fool! It is doubtful he is competent to specify the smoke alarm requirements. No fire barrier in a single dwelling occupied by a single family unit, unless that's changed VERY recently. I'll start again. 1 Your test shows that it needs bonding, thus you bonded it, IF I read your comment correctly, not an issue, he has no clue. 2 None of his business 3 None of his business 4 Not an issue, it's compliant with BS7671, so no worries. 5 Smokes on own circuit, it is recommended they be on a local lighting circuit, however, manufacturer says OK, so thus not an issue, I suspect they will indicate if there is a circuit failure. 6 None of his business 7 Not a problem 8 No fire barrier in a dwelling occupied by a "single family unit" 9 None of his business 10 Not really any of his business 11 That sounds like best practice to me You should have asked him which BS7671 regulations you were breaching. Whenever my AE tries to pick me up on a point, I ensure that he puts a reg no on the paperwork and an explanation why. Did this guy? If not why not? If you fail the assessment, then you should be demanding an explanation of which regs you were breaking. Sounds like the guy is a 5ww who has conned his way into the job. [/QUOTE]
