"big houses can have stand alone none interlinked smoke alarms so long as the dutyholder aspires to have them interconnected one day"
Thats what I thought when I looked at the draft over and over, but now I see a bit that says
Alarms should be interlinked so that actuation of one causes actuation of others.
I also see terms used such as proprietor/persons/owner/operator/anyone who has control, should we not just be trying to stick with the terminology we have all been trying to get used to over the last 3,1/2 years the "dutyholder"?
also I see that the proprietor/persons/owner/operator/anyone who has control is being asked to consider installing mains powered smoke alarms permanently wired to a circuit when the lifetime of the 10 year battery is ended or when repair or redecoration work is being carried out
Will this really happen? will some want to bother wiring back to the mains after such a long period of time, I wonder if there is really that much cost difference between repalcing all the 10 year interlinked battery detectors and providing one year battery back up mains powered detectors.
