We're doing a refurb of a takeaway restaurant. Client has asked us to re-use existing downlights and provided some additional ones of the same type which aren't fire rated.
We've advised that these should be changed but he doesn't want to as 'they were fine before'.
It's a metal framed suspended ceiling with double skinned plasterboard and there are flats above, but not sure of the building fabric above the suspended ceiling.
Should I still go ahead and issue a test cert and list this as a departure from regulation 559.3.1 and that the lights are supplied by the Client?
I need payment for the other works and don't want to get stuck on this due to what they've supplied.
