It would seem after this that the following is the outcome
The statement originally made by someone along the lines that 'you are breaking the law if you don't nominate keyholders to your local authority'
Was not factually correct and that you would only be breaking the law if:-
Your local authority had designated the local area as an area where notification was a local legal requirement.
I have found examples where there IS a requirement and non compliance results in a fine.
In the first instance the fines are £5000 for installing equipment without a 20 minute cut out and £500 for failing to register keyholders.

In this second example again a £5000 fine for installing equipment without a cut out but NO fine for not registering keyholders just a reminder that if they have to come out you will pick up the tab.

Here it is made a legal requirement but no specific fine is mentioned.

It would seem that London Authorities are keener than elsewhere probably due to the denser populated areas and number of systems in use.
