Smoke and heat dectectors design, fit and cert requirments

[oo7]

Hi guys.

I'm a registered "full scope" electrician with NAPIT and rather than asking them I thought I'd ask you guys if you know whether or not I would be allowed to design, fit and certify a heat and smoke detection system in a rented property? I understand that all work needs to be in line with BS 5839-6:2013 and am more than confident I can do the work, just not sure if other qualifications to what I have are required to carry this work out.

Cheers,
Chris.

AM NAPIT Full Scope too and have done the same work.

But I called the NAPIT guys first and they were very helpful with some pointers on guides and things to be aware of. The Aico guide to installation is also v helpful.

Theres installation certs and handover paperwork on this site too.

Thanks Taylor, will have a good look at that site.

Turns out the property is a 3 story HMO and that the customer has had a quote from the letting agency to do the work, £350!

I've informed the customer that it is my understanding that because its a 3 story HMO the work needs to be Grade A, LD2 and that I can't come close to that price and that he should check that the price he's been given will meet these requirements.

I doubt I'll hear from him again.

Chees,
Chris.
