Hi.
I had my annual assessment on friday.
I had one observation. I had 2 jobs on call with the owner and the assessor chose a rewire i did in november.
All ok until he asked me why i had not installed a means of isolation between the lighting circuit and the first mains smoke detector. I said that i did not realise that i did not need to do that and he referred me to page 65, bottom paragraph of the red on site guide. I responded with the fact that even if i did then it may be opened by a habitant to prevent nuisance activation in the event of poor cooking skills and forgotten about afterwards. Yes i know they have battery back up, but that is not the point.
Interestingly, in the green guide (ammendment 1), we could find no reference to it.
which why I am confused as to why he mentioned it.(ok it was a 2001 install)
Maybe he felt he needed to find an observation.
Does /did any other practicing electricians do this??
Regards
