Meets New Smoke Alarm Standards
Precision Detection advanced sensing technology meets new UL 217 8th Edition industry standards, effective June 2024.
Precision Detection Technology
Precision Detection advanced sensing technology will be used in all smoke and combination alarms that comply with UL 217 8th Edition revised smoke alarm standards.
BRK’s Precision Detection Alarms provide advanced and reliable fire protection to help protect homes and families.
What Does This Mean For You?
Alarms produced after June 30, 2024* must be compliant to the performance requirements as specified in the UL 217 8th Edition standard for single and multiple station smoke alarms and combination smoke and carbon monoxide alarms. BRK is prepared for the change in standards. To learn more about BRK’s compliant Precision Detection Alarms, connect with a rep in your area.
Fire Dynamics In The Home Have Changed
According to UL, modern materials in home furnishings, open layouts and lighter construction materials all burn hotter and faster and may result in less time to escape. This research led to new alarm performance qualifications to provide early warning for smoke produced from synthetic material fires.
Nuisance Alerts Are Leading Cause of Disabled Alarms
Cooking nuisance alarms are a main reason people disconnect their smoke alarms (NFPA). UL conducted research on smoke characteristics during normal cooking events leading to new alarm requirements to better distinguish between nuisance alarms and a fire emergency.
