EICR on a rented property no SPD

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.

Interlinked 10 year sealed battery smokes and heats. I would have thought ideal for rentals, and no SPD required, nor mweic(s). I guess a fire alarm certificate might be needed if a new installation, if the system is designed, but if you are following the installation instructions in the placement of the detectors, and/or possibly replacing existing ones, they could save time and money.

So tech is catching up.
