Scottish Landlords - Fire detection in private rented properties: guidance

Fire and Smoke Alarms

The Scottish Government has drafted revised guidance for private landlords on fire and smoke alarms.  The new guidance will allow the repairing standards to be met by either mains-wired systems or tamper proof long-life lithium battery alarms.  Battery alarms or combined battery/mains-wired systems must be interlinked, though this can be done by a radio or wireless link.  The new guidance has been published and is available on the following link:-
