  • It depends what sort of inspection you have been asked to do. If the building is supposed to have then and they have been broken or removed, then it would be irresponsible not to highlight this as an observation. 

    I agree its not a BS7671 line item, so no code, but someone asking for a safety inspection might reasonably expect it to be considered, unless you say ' fire system will not be inspected as part of this EICR.'
