The brief

The scope of the work shall include the procurement, installation, co-ordination, site testing, commissioning, provision of record documentation, together with the whole of the labour and materials necessary to form a complete inspection.

Because of the possibility of failure of the supply to the normal lighting occurring shortly after a period of testing, all tests should be undertaken at times of minimum risk.

Alternatively, suitable temporary arrangements should be made until the batteries have been recharged.
