[QUOTE="SLIPSHOD & SLAPDASH, post: 288399, member: 16"] Well not exactly, but i couldn't think of a title. Now i should know the answers to this but am interested in opinions. I have to test & issue a cert (not sure which until i have done the test) for some mains powered battery back up smokes. One on each of the 3 floors & a heat in the kitchen. This is for a HMO license. My views are this is not correct but i have had confirmation from the owner the council has viewed the property and has accepted this system but made the owner put battery powered smokes in each room (had to have 10 year guarantee lithium batterys) The various certs, as there are a few i could use such as the verification or acceptance or commissioning are very 'simple' What is there to test. BS certs have been done. i doupt this type of alarm will give 75db at the bedheads. Do you check sound levels ? I will check the operation and interlinks on them but this is the first time i have ever been asked to certify this type which i would class as a L4. Dont ask why the installer did not do this. I think the house was a dwelling and the HMO licence is now being applied for. I eagerly await your replies [/QUOTE]
