Smoke Alarms
As from 1st January 2022 at the commencement of all homes being sold or leased, a new lease or lease renewal, you must ensure your dwelling / unit meets the requirements of the domestic smoke alarm legislation. This may involve installing interconnected photoelectric smoke alarms into the bedrooms in addition to the currently required smoke alarms.
What is required by law?
When it is time for your property’s alarms to be upgraded, those alarms must:
• Be photoelectric and comply with Australian Standard 3786-2014
• Not also contain an ionisation sensor; and
• Be less than 10 years old; and
• Operate when tested; and
• Be interconnected with every other ‘required’ smoke alarm in the dwelling so all activate together.
Any existing smoke alarm being replaced from the 1st January 2017 must be a photoelectric-type alarm which complies with Australian Standard 3786-2014.
If a smoke alarm which is hardwired to the domestic power supply needs replacement, it must be replaced with a hardwired photoelectric smoke alarm. In existing domestic dwellings, it is possible to have a combination of smoke alarms (240v and battery operated) and interconnectivity can be both wired and/or wireless.
