• Be photoelectric and less than 10 years old.

• Meet the new Australian Standard 3786:2014.

• Be interconnected with every other smoke alarm in the property so all activate at the same time

• Be hard-wired or wireless alarms powered by a non-removable 10-year lithium battery or a combination of both.

• Be installed on each storey.

• Be installed in each bedroom.

• In hallways which connect bedrooms and the rest of the property.
