[QUOTE="Nicky Tesla, post: 553534, member: 445"] Who Is Correct? Aico says I need to fit smoke detectors to D1. ie: mains powered with battery back up, but GOV.UK says BS5839-6 2022 does not stipulate this. Aico [MEDIA=youtube]dxTsJ9DX4E0[/MEDIA] GOV.UK [URL]https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/smoke-and-carbon-monoxide-alarms-explanatory-booklet-for-landlords/the-smoke-and-carbon-monoxide-alarm-england-regulations-2015-qa-booklet-for-the-private-rented-sector-landlords-and-tenants[/URL] [HEADING=2]What type of smoke alarm is required?[/HEADING] The regulations do not stipulate the type of alarms (such as mains powered (‘hard-wired’) or battery powered) that should be installed. We recommend that landlords choose the type of smoke alarms based on the needs of their building and their tenants, and that those alarms are compliant with British Standards BS 5839-6. Where battery powered alarms are selected, alarms with ‘sealed for life’ batteries rather than alarms with replaceable batteries are the better option. [/QUOTE]
