BS5839 & BS5266

[Pocster]

Hey all,

 

Apparently my local council require these. But any electrician I have spoken to seems 'confused'. Even the one that installed the fire alarm and emergency lights.

I *assumed* there was a standard form for these - but can't find anything generic online.

Council unhelpful as you can imagine.

Any help appreciated.

 

thanks

Google found these but they might be out of date?

 

I would have thought any good installer would have their own similar forms?

and

Is that what you are asking for or are you asking about which parts of the standards apply?

I did find the first one TBH.

 

No electrician seems to understand. The council require it for HMO license. So it's really a case of whomever installed it can sign it off with these. But of course they probably  aren't BS5839 qualified ( or done the course ) . So then it gets tricky.....
