It gets better. Somewhere in the small print it says the smike alarms

If the Scottsh Fire and Rescue service have been fitting
non-compliant smoke alarm systems after Feb 2019 that is something to
complain about as that is when the change appeared in the legislative
pipeline. I have seen reference to "£870,000 each year for two years
funding to the SFRS" but not which two years...

Alarms fitted before Feb 2019 may well not be compliant, no reason to
be, the legislation was not in the pipeline.

Good point. Have you been able to locate these regulations? I
haven't. I assume they are subordinate legislation as I have been
through the Acts of the Scottish Parliament. Unhelpfully, none of the
guidance seems to provide a link.
