Smoke Alarm Compliance and Maintenance
As of 2022, all properties that are leased or sold in all of Queensland will need to meet the revised Queensland smoke alarm legislation to better ensure the safety of the residents and occupants in the unfortunate event of a fire. Essentially, all Queensland rentals will have to have photoelectric smoke alarms that are interconnected, and must be in all bedrooms, hallways, and in between areas with bedrooms. However, legislation varies based on if you are a real estate agency, Facility Manager, landlord, or propery owner.
This makes smoke alarm compliance and maintenance all the more crucial as the deadline is rapidly approaching. At JLT Services, we are proud to offer competitively priced smoke alarm compliance and maintenance services to ensure your smoke alarms meets AS 3786:2014 and all other legislations.

Our Queensland Smoke Alarm Compliance and Maintenance Services
During this transitory period, it can be difficult to understand what smoke alarm legislation must be complied with already, and what needs to be changed by 1 January 2022. As of today, all new dwellings must have photoelectric alarms powered by main powers that are fully interconnected, meaning all new or substantially renovated buildings must already comply with the 2022 legislation.
If your current smoke alarm is 10+ years old or is faulty, it has to be replaced with a photoelectric smoke alarm compliant with AS 3786:2014. However, if it’s under 10 years old, it must comply with AS 2786:1993. It is up to tenants to test smoke alarms 12 monthly, while landlords have to install smoke alarms if necessary. 2022 legislation requires that smoke alarms be in all bedrooms, interconnected, photoelectric, AS 3786:2014 compliant, and powered by a 240-volt or 10-year lithium battery.
Of course, the finer points of ensuring your smoke alarm compliance and maintenance is much more detailed than this, which is where JLT Services steps in. As your local experts, we will provide a seamless, cost-effective smoke alarm compliance process that’s hassle-free and not just meets, but exceeds all federal and state legislation.
