    Abstract - (Show below) - (Hide below)

    Specifies the requirements for the design and performance of electrically operated smoke alarms containing detection and alarm facilities. It also allows, but does not require, for the inclusion within the smoke alarm facilities for inter-connection with other units or accessories. Where such facilities are included, the Standard specifies requirements for the connection interface. It is not intended that this interface be used for connection to remote monitoring stations. The Standard applies to smoke alarms for installation within residential accommodation where connection to remote monitoring is not required.

    Scope - (Show below) - (Hide below)

    This Standard specifies requirements for the design and performance of electrically operated smoke alarms containing both detection and alarm facilities.This Standard allows, although it does not require, the inclusion within the smoke alarm of facilities for interconnection with other similar units, or accessories. Where such facilities are included, this Standard specifies requirements for the connection interface. However, such an interface is not intended for connection to fire control stations.This Standard applies to smoke alarms intended for installation within residential accommodation where connection to fire control stations is not required.
