Smoke alarms and other fire safety equipment have been mandatory in residential and office buildings within New South Wales since the early 1990’s. New South Wales and other states legally requires fire safety equipment and systems to comply with a set of performance standards and to be regularly tested and maintained. According to Australian Standards, the maximum life span of an alarm is 10 years, but not all of them last that long and all must be replaced. Smoke alarms are deemed to be at fault when they do not respond to a function test by spraying ionised smoke. 

Furthermore, landlords, by law, MUST check and maintain the alarms and detectors between each change of tenancy and must replace expired (10 years) units.
