Just carried out an EICR on a rented property that has mins smoke detectors with lithium battery back up, there is no SPD fitted and I understand SPD's should be fitted on any safety service eg: smoke detectors. What code should I give this.

The daft thing being if there was no main supply to the detectors it would be fully compliant as battery only is fully compliant in a rental , be it a minimum requirement.
Although in that case the smoke detectors would be immune to damaging surges on the mains - as there would be no path to conduct the surge to the detector.

I think that engineering has departed the IET
