As a QEI Inspector I would like to give you my two cents worth. The biggest problem here is do you have the Building test the Smoke Sensors on Phase I. Phase II is not a problem. The Inspectors Guide stipulates that sensors are to be tested annually, and witnessed by an inspector. The problem here is you usually cannot do this with just a Mechanic. Other people need to be organized and involved to reset the smokes. Not to mention the disruption of the entire Building, unless of course your performing the test on overtime, which now begs the question of who pays the bill, who organizes the whole thing etc; This is one of those catch 22 questions. As a Mechanic you just do what the Inspector says. We all have our way of doing things.
