Residential Smoke Alarm Systems

NJBFAA MEMBER UPDATE

Re: Residential Smoke Alarm Systems

If you’ve been reading the newsletters and/or attending our Regional meetings, you are aware of R313.1 regarding low voltage smoke detector installations in residential applications.

Over the last ten months, the NJBFAA has been relentless in our efforts to bring the most updated information and possible solutions to the members. We hope this effort has benefited you in some way. Our job is not done. We have listened to your concerns and understand your frustrations. We have taken another step forward on your behalf.

Recently, the NJBFAA hired an outside Fire Safety consultant to represent our organization in our efforts to bridge the gap between what was adopted by the IBC/IRC and what is best for the Dealers and Homeowners in the State of New Jersey.

We have suggested that the DCA issue a “bulletin” that would provide a method that allows the installation of low voltage fire detection systems in a manner that will conform to the requirements of the NJUCC with a provision that a variance process be used for the installations and that the approved variance contain conditions that the system be required to be electronically supervised and maintained under contract with a qualified firm for the life of the system. At any time a contract was not renewed, the firm would be required to notify the fire protection subcode official in writing.

A second area addressed by the suggested “bulletin” language is the installation of smoke detectors for “supplemental” protection. The newly adopted code requires line voltage 110 volt AC powered smoke alarms to remain in place to provide for the necessary life safety protection, and the smoke detectors installed would only serve to provide “supplemental” signals to a monitoring station for the purpose of notifying the fire department of alarm activation.

On December 4, the Fire Subcode Advisory Committee met and discussed the issue of residential fire alarm systems. The NJBFAA representatives were given the opportunity to speak and distribute documents to support our recommendations.

Other committee members also spoke and distributed a video. Although these other members want the Code changed, there were many technical inaccuracies in their presentations, and therefore, their recommendations are not supported by the NJBFAA.

The Committee tabled any action until their next meeting in February so they can review the submitted material. We will continue to work with DCA on the bulletin. We are confident it will get transmitted based upon our conversations with the DCA to date.

As always, we will keep you up to date with the latest information.
