No , not Minor works.EIC ,because when you move it you have to isolate ,disconnect ,move it reconnect and energize after testing making sure everything works perfectly and by regulations.
You cannot reconnect anything back which did not comply with the regs or not working properly initially before you moved the CU.
Therefore you have to issue the EIC after completion.

I got email off government to confirm this is the case , was talking to a supplier of said detectors today and was told they are flying off the shelves, seemingly as long as they are interlinked don’t need a spark to fit them , madness a step backwards I recon

The bit about wired detectors having to be fitted by a spark and occurring an extra cost reads to me that any one can just buy them and stick them up no dought literally with double sided sticky tape
