Mandatory from July 1th: you can buy a smoke detector in these Zoetermeer stores

taketonews

From 1 July 2022 it is mandatory to have an approved and working smoke detector on every floor in your home. This applies to both owner-occupied and rental properties. In Zoetermeer you can buy a smoke detector in various shops. Where? You can read that below.

In addition to every floor, it is also mandatory to hang a smoke detector in closed areas where there is an escape route. Think, for example, of the entrance hall where there is a staircase to the first floor. According to experts, you should be careful with very cheap smoke detectors. They don’t always work optimally. The detectors must comply with NEN-14604 and have a CE mark.

Not in the mood for beeps

Most smoke detectors operate on a battery with a one-year lifespan. Tired of beeps from an almost non-functioning smoke detector? Then choose a battery with a lifespan of ten years or connect it to the mains.

Visit from the fire brigade

Wondering whether your house is fire-safe or not sure where you can best hang a smoke detector? Make an appointment with a volunteer from the fire brigade for a home visit. Then you not only know in which rooms a smoke detector is desired, but also what the escape routes are and what to do in the event of a fire in the house. Make here an appointment for a free home visit.
