Carbon Monoxide Detector AS 3786 and AS 7240 Test Report

Detailed Explanation of the Test Report Standards for Fire Smoke and Carbon Monoxide Detectors on Amazon Australia.

Fire smoke and carbon monoxide detectors are crucial devices for ensuring safety in both residential and commercial settings. To sell these products in global markets, manufacturers and sellers must ensure their products comply with local regulations and standards. This article introduces the compliance requirements on the Amazon platform and similar standards in Europe and the United States.

Fire Smoke and Carbon Monoxide Detectors Covered by This Policy

Smoke Alarm

A smoke alarm emits a sound or visual alert in a specific area to warn of the presence of smoke, indicating a potential fire hazard. These products are typically used in homes.

Smoke Detector

A smoke detector is part of a larger fire safety system and can send signals to a fire alarm control panel to alert of smoke in a particular area, indicating a potential fire hazard. These products are generally used in commercial environments.

Carbon Monoxide Alarm

A carbon monoxide alarm emits an audible alert when carbon monoxide levels reach dangerous levels. Carbon monoxide alarms are designed to detect the presence of carbon monoxide from sources such as internal combustion engines, fuel-burning appliances, and fireplaces.
