We will not invent a preferred smoke-vent brand for Erskine. If the fire strategy names an actuator, that is the one we test.

Brand logos below are our nameplates, linked to the manufacturer page, so a search for the equipment in Erskine lands on a page that admits the brand.

We coordinate with the fire-alarm maintainer when the interface is theirs. The AOV certificate should say what was witnessed in Erskine.

A weekly visual check is not a substitute for a functional test of the actuator and the panel. Erskine logbooks should show both.
