Changes To The Law & How It Affects You

As of 2023, the new Australian Standard for smoke alarms, AS3786, will be implemented across the country. This new standard has been introduced to ensure that Australian homes are equipped with the latest technology and guidelines for fire safety.

According to the new law, by 2027, smoke alarms in all dwellings must:

be photoelectric (AS 3786-2014);
be interconnected, so if one goes off they all go off;
be no older than ten years;
be installed on every level;
be installed in every bedroom;
be installed in hallways outside the bedrooms and if there is none, in the most likely path of escape.

Here at Glasshouse Home Safety, we are committed to providing the highest quality smoke alarm installation services, and we’re excited to explain the changes that have been introduced in the new standard.

FAQs

Why are smoke alarms important?

Smoke alarms are crucial for early detection of smoke or fire in your home. They provide an early warning that allows you and your family to evacuate quickly, potentially saving lives and minimising property damage.

How do smoke alarms work?

Smoke alarms are equipped with sensors that detect smoke particles in the air. When smoke particles are detected, the alarm emits a loud sound to alert occupants of potential danger.

How often should smoke alarms be replaced?

Smoke alarms should be replaced every 10 years, or sooner if they are not functioning properly or have been damaged. It’s important to refer to the manufacturer’s guidelines for the recommended lifespan of your specific smoke alarm model.

Are there different types of smoke alarms?

Yes, there are different types of smoke alarms available, including ionisation smoke alarms and photoelectric smoke alarms. Ionisation alarms are more responsive to fast-flaming fires, while photoelectric alarms are better at detecting smouldering fires. Combination alarms that utilise both technologies are also available for comprehensive protection.

Can smoke alarms be interconnected?

Yes, smoke alarms can be interconnected, meaning that if one alarm detects smoke, all interconnected alarms will sound simultaneously. This provides a higher level of safety by ensuring that everyone in the home is alerted to potential danger.

Are there any additional features to consider when choosing a smoke alarm?

Yes, some smoke alarms come with additional features such as built-in carbon monoxide detection, long-life batteries, or voice alerts. Consider your specific needs and preferences when selecting a smoke alarm for your home.

Can smoke alarms be interconnected with other fire safety systems?

Yes, smoke alarms can be interconnected with other fire safety systems, such as fire sprinklers or fire alarm panels. This integration provides a comprehensive fire protection system that can automatically trigger appropriate responses, such as activating sprinklers or notifying emergency services. Consult with a professional to determine the compatibility and requirements for interconnecting your smoke alarms with other systems.

What should I do if my smoke alarm doesn't sound during a fire emergency?

If your smoke alarm fails to sound during a fire emergency, evacuate the premises immediately and contact emergency services. It is crucial to have a backup plan in place, such as a fire escape route, and to regularly test and maintain your smoke alarms to ensure their reliability.

I highly recommend Glasshouse Home Safety for their professionalism.

These guys are fricking amazing. So friendly, and efficient and accomodating. They got me through some very hard times with a beeping alarm that was driving me crazy. Honestly, I couldn't have got through it without them. The biggest thank you to Alisha, Scott, Chris and Vaughan.
