Interconnected smoke alarms for houses
Smoke alarms save lives. They are mandatory in residential tenancies and can be important for obtaining a building consent when building or altering a house or small apartment. This standard includes important information about the placement of smoke alarms, and their ability to be heard. It provides information about installing, commissioning and maintaining externally powered interconnected smoke alarms, a more robust warning system than battery-powered smoke alarms. Acceptable Solution F7/AS1 provides information on using this standard to help demonstrate Building Code compliance, along with Acceptable Solutions C/AS1 and C/AS2.
