Aico also do 10 year lithium battery only RF, smokes and heats. If the light fittings only have switch lives.

Cheers, 240v ones are mandatory for childminders licence FROM COUNCIL and PLI

 

[Guest77]

what about 230 volt models?

 

[Andy78]

That's different to down here then. Mrs Andy78 is a registered childminder in our home, and battery alarms suffice for our local council requirements, ofsted, and insurance purposes.

 

[kirkgas]

I will get her to confirm
Cheers

Although I've lived in Cornwall 40 odd years, I was born in Airdrie and have relatives still in Glenboig and Coatdyke.:yesnod:

Thought I would update as a thank you to all the people who took the time to assist and advise, I've contacted the fire service as they do the fire safety house inspection to get daughter registered, waiting on them replying, once I know I will update
Thanks

Fire service have called back and confirmed the smoke alarms must be electric and linked, and comply with BS 5839 pt 6 LD3 grade 6

Thats a fair request from FS, for a Grade D LD3, so you will need to install a detector in ground floor hallway and any landing areas. Standard house 2 detectors. Hopefully live conductor available in Lighting rose, and 2 Aico radio bases with Optical smoke detectors.....
