Was anyone aware of this? Apparently the from February 2021, there are changes to standards for fire ands smoke alarms in Scottish homes:


https://www.gov.scot/publications/fi...cottish-homes/

"Fire and smoke alarms: changes to the law ... "

" ... The standard requires:

One smoke alarm installed in the room most frequently used for general daytime living purposes

One smoke alarm in every circulation space on each storey, such as hallways and landings

One heat alarm installed in every kitchen

All alarms should be ceiling mounted and interlinked. ... ".

Some people are annoyed at the lack of publicity that these changes have had (a friend only learned about this after receiving a leaflet through the door from a company offering to do the work), the cost and point out that it might be difficult to get workmen in to do the work due to the Covid-19 situation for example:
