Where and how to install a smoke detector (DAAF) for optimal safety?

In order to ensure the safety of a home and its occupants, it is essential to obtain high-performance smoke detectors. In the event of a fire, these devices trigger an audible alarm to warn the inhabitants and enable them to react quickly in order to evacuate the home.

Since 8 March 2015, it has been compulsory in France to install fire detectors in a home. These devices must bear the CE marking and be EN 14604 certified. These markings prove that the detectors have passed enough tests to comply with safety requirements and that they are effective in the event of a fire in a home.

To guarantee that the smoke detectors are working properly and to ensure optimal protection against any fire threatening a home, it is recommended that they be tested and dusted at least once a year, using the brush attachment of a vacuum cleaner.

Limiting exposure to smoke

Vulnerable people such as children, pregnant women and the elderly are most at risk from smoke inhalation. This is why it is important to know how to install a smoke detector in enclosed spaces, especially inside a house. Sometimes connected, fire alarms are small devices designed to prevent fire-related risks and protect every home from domestic dangers.

But how can you avoid poisoning caused by pollution in the home? Here are some best practices:

• Check electrical appliances and installations
• Chimney sweeping
• Avoid starting combustion engines in a closed garage
• Install a connected smoke detector

These actions explain how to reduce the risk of fire in a house. The DAAF will ensure the safety of the building and its occupants. For optimal detection, it is essential to know how to correctly position the device in strategic locations in the house, such as corridors and living rooms. This device will be an effective way to protect the home against the risk of fire and prevent smoke-related poisoning.
