CPSC Hosting a Presentation by Tom Cleary from the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) on Smoke Alarms
CPSC is hosting a presentation by Tom Cleary from the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) on the following report: A Study on the Performance of Current Smoke Alarms to the New Fire and Nuisance Tests Prescribed in ANSI/UL 217-2015. The presentation will be held from 4:00 pm to 5:30 pm at the US Consumer Product Safety Commission, 4330 East West Highway, Hearing Room 420, Bethesda, MD 20814.
CPSC contracted NIST to conduct a study on the performance of currently available smoke alarms to the new fire and cooking nuisance source tests specified in ANSI/UL 217-2015, Standard for Safety of Smoke Alarms. There were 45 distinct smoke alarm models from seven different manufacturers used in the study. Six units of each model were used in the experiments for a total of 270 individual smoke alarms used in the study. The technical note for this study was published at https://doi.org/10.6028/NIST.TN.1947. All the data is available at http://doi.org/10.18434/T4530X which is referenced in the technical note.
If you would like to attend this presentation, please respond to Arthur Lee, CPSC, at alee@cpsc.gov or 301-987-2008.
