Please note that the lifespan of a smoke alarm device is 10 years. The long service life is achieved by a permanently installed lithium battery and increases safety. This is because you no longer have to worry about regularly changing batteries. Furthermore, the device must have a CE marking. This proves that the smoke alarm device complies with the European device standard EN 14604 and has been tested and approved according to its strict criteria.
The coveted ‘Q’ label is only awarded to devices that meet the particularly strict standards. The ‘Q’ stands for the highest quality of smoke alarms. This seal of approval provides information on whether a smoke alarm is suitable for long-term use over a period of 10 years.
