Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know about smoke alarm compliance.

  • What is a smoke alarm compliance certificate?

    A smoke alarm compliance certificate is a document that states the property has been inspected and tested to ensure all smoke alarms are in working order. The certificate, which must be issued by a licensed electrician, also outlines the date of installation, type of alarm and pass or fail status of each device. 

  • Who needs a smoke alarm compliance certificate?

    Smoke alarm compliance certificates are required for all rental properties in Australia, including both commercial and residential. The certificate must be provided to the tenant upon signing of the tenancy agreement as proof that the alarms have been tested and meet legal requirements. A smoke alarm compliance certificate will also be required when selling a property.

  • How often do you need to replace smoke alarms?

    Smoke alarms must be replaced every 10 years in Queensland. It is important to ensure that the replacement alarm is an approved device as not all smoke alarms are suitable for installation in a residential property. A licensed electrician should always be used to ensure correct installation and compliance with legal requirements.
