carry out annual checks to ensure all smoke alarms installed at the property are in working order.
-
replace a removable battery in all smoke alarms in the period specified by the smoke alarm manufacturer, or otherwise annually.
-
repair or replace a smoke alarm that is not working within 2 days of becoming aware that it is not working.
