Additional Information
Smoke Detection - Where required by applicable laws, codes, or
standards for the specified occupancy, approved single and
multiple-station smoke alarms shall be installed as follows:
• In all sleeping rooms with the exception: Smoke alarms shall not
be required in sleeping rooms in existing one and two-family
dwelling units.
• Outside of each separate sleeping area, in immediate vicinity of
the sleeping rooms.
• On each level of the dwelling unit, including basements.
Exception: In existing one and two-family dwelling units, approved
smoke alarms powered by batteries are permitted.
Smoke Detection
Are more smoke alarms desirable? The required number of smoke
alarms might not provide reliable early warning protection for those
areas separated by a door from the areas protected by the required
smoke alarms. For this reason, it is recommended that the
householder consider the use of additional smoke alarms for those
areas for increased protection.
The additional areas include the basement, bedrooms, dining room,
furnace room, utility room, and hallways not protected by the
required smoke alarms.
