What are the regulations for installing smoke alarms?

The DIN 14676 national application standard regulates the planning, installation, operation and maintenance of smoke alarms. This standard applies to private homes and rooms with residential-like use. It is addressed to the authorities responsible for fire protection, fire departments, manufacturers of smoke alarms, planners, homeowners and residents. Important information: only smoke alarms that meet the requirements of EN 14604 may be used in the EU.

In addition, the building codes (LBO) of the federal states regulate the obligation to equip existing and new buildings with smoke alarms.
