Eicr code

[Dartlec]

Thanks for your help I think I’ll Just note it as an observation on rental properties if no smokes what so ever just to cover my back then if they want to act upon that they can ?

Was coding lack of smokes & removable battery type as a lot of people take batteries out & thought renters need them so called stroma just to be on the safe side but they ended up just confusing things

The advice I've seen is to note the absence of smokes on the EICR comments, but with no code - there is no electrical regulation requirement for them, and the legal requirements are unrelated to the EICR.

The only way a Smoke alarm could get a code would be if it was hard wired and there was an electrical fault on the circuit (Low IR or high Zs reading)

Though the way we are going, there actually WILL be a 'landlords report' that so many people have asked for over the years (The good landlords that didn't need a specific law to ensure their properties were safe to let).
