Fire Safety Update

UL 217 8th Edition represents the most significant update of manufacturing standards in many years.

  • Smoke or combination alarms manufactured after June 30, 2024, must meet new safety standards.
  • The new standards include improved smoke sensing, earlier warnings, and reduced nuisance alarms.
  • The updates are based on careful study of modern fire hazards and real-world safety concerns, as modern synthetic textiles, furnishings, and building materials burn hotter and faster.
  • Average time to escape in the event of a fire has reduced from 17 to 3 minutes.

Currently installed smoke and combination alarms will continue to offer quality protection through their standard lifespan.
