Annual testing of LD2 smoke/heat detection systemstest

[polo1]

Hi,
what happened to the Fire Detection forum????
Anyways, are any of you guys involved in annual testing of smoke/heat detection systems in private rented properties? If so, what form of report/certification are you using?
I've had a look on the NIC online certification site, but the only cert there appears to be for fire panel systems and a bit OTT for an LD2 installation.
Any advice welcome!
Cheers.

Anyone?

if there are just smoke alarms in the property then just use tester smoke or for Aico just press the test button and check the interconnections are operating.
There does not appear to be any formal inspection paperwork for such arrangements, just prepare a form stating what you have done including any battery changes, if applicable.
If there is a panel then you can do (a lot more) formal testing and inspection.

Thanks Richard. I'm surprised at the lack of responses as I assumed lots of these annual inspections would be getting done.
Cheers.

Sorry just seen this, agree with Richard we do a few of these and just devised are own form, basically what it is heat or smoke, it's location, was the battery replaced, is it still within it's recommended replacement date and does it function.
