EICR Coding for smoke detector hard wired into separate property ?

aligarjon

Hi Guys.   I did an EICR on a rental flat today. Flat is above a shop. Flat  has its own meter etc in the flat. Shop is completely separate electrically wise apart from a mains linked smoke detector . Supply to detectors are from the flat.  Installation looks late 80s early 90s. 

I have coded it as a C3 as it isn't dangerous for the flat but could be a problem for somebody working in the shop. I have mentioned it to the shop owner and noted it on the report.  I suspect it has been like it for 20 odd years so probably before the wireless bases were about.  Any thoughts on the coding please or should it not be coded at all.

Cheers   

Gary

    That would not fall under BS7671, so no code as such on a electrical inspection report; I would enter a note though on an EICR. "The owner has been advised to get an inspection and recommendations from the local fire department for the flat and shop".
