The national application standard DIN 14676 regulates the planning, installation, operation and maintenance of smoke alarms. This standard applies to private homes and rooms with similar residential use. It is intended for the authorities responsible for fire protection, fire brigades, smoke alarm manufacturers, planners, homeowners and residents. Important to know: Only smoke alarms that fulfil the requirements of EN 14604 may be used in the EU.
Furthermore, the state building regulations (LBO) of the individual federal states regulate the obligation to equip existing and new buildings with smoke alarms.
