WHERE TO INSTALL A SMOKE ALARM
British Standards Institution (BSI) recommends
the following installation.
Multi-family or mixed occupant residence
(Tenancy building, student accommodation)
Your smoke/CO alarm can also be used in
individual flats and bedsits, providing the same
conditions are met as for a single-family
residence. However, there must already be a
primary fire detection system that meets
regulator y requirements for common areas
such as lobbies and hallways.
Institutions and Hotels
This includes guest houses, hospitals, day care
facilities, long-term health care facilities, B&Bs
and halls of residence. Your smoke/CO alarm can
be used in individual sleeping/resident rooms,
providing the same conditions are met as for a
single-family residence. However, there must
already be a primary fire detection system that
meets regulatory requirements for common
areas such as lobbies and hallways. Use of this
smoke alarm in common areas may not provide
sufficient fire warning to residents or meet
regulatory requirements.
Commercial and Industrial Premises
This smoke alarm is not intended for any
non-residential, commercial or industrial
application, nor for any other purpose than
