Did you know...

As of the 1st of January 2022, all homes being leased or sold must comply with Queensland Smoke Alarm legislation with all other dwellings required to comply by 2027.

This means if you are a landlord looking to sell or renew tenancies you must make sure your smoke alarms are meeting the new criteria. To be compliant you must ensure that your smoke alarms:

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 1 January 2017 must be a photoelectric-type alarm which complies with the 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.

If you are left wondering if your smoke alarms are compliant for insurance purpose then give
us a call Level Electrical & Solar to find out.
