It is important to understand the special requirements for the positioning of smoke alarms in each house. As Queensland Fire and Emergency Services state; where practicable smoke alarms must be placed on the ceiling and must not be placed:
A smoke alarm’s ideal location is in the center of the room, however this is not a requirement. They must be 300mm from any corners or lighting and 400mm from anything that maybe blow air i.e. fan or air conditioner. Different requirements are needed for any sloping/exposed beam ceilings.
Any dwellings built pre 1997 may have battery powered smoke alarms. Domestic dwellings built 2014 and after are required to have all smoke alarms interconnected.
All property owners and landlords must ensure that working smoke alarms are well maintained and are compliant with recent legislation.
All compliant smoke alarms have “AS3786-2014” on them.
