Brandschutz Service Berlin
Obligation
The obligation to equip flats and houses with smoke alarms is regulated in the respective state building regulations of the individual federal states. The smoke detector requirement has been clearly regulated for Berlin and Brandenburg since July 1st, 2016. All flats and houses whose construction began in Brandenburg after June 30, 2016 must be equipped with smoke detectors. For Berlin, however, December 31, 2016 is the deadline. For existing living spaces, installation is mandatory until December 31, 2020. The respective state building regulations state that at least one smoke detector must be installed in all lounges and in all corridors required for escape.

Installation of smoke detectors and heat detectors
Brandschutz Service Berlin
In Germany around 600 people die each year in fires and around 6,000 are injured. The danger is usually not the fire, but the smoke: People suffocate in their sleep, and even a few breaths of the poisonous gas can be fatal. Therefore, the statutory obligation to install smoke detectors in flats is also commendable. The alarm wakes the residents from their sleep and they can save themselves.
In addition to the rooms in flats and houses where the installation of a smoke detector is mandatory, smoke detectors in campers or caravans can also be useful.
Heat detectors are also known as thermal detectors. They recognise fires through heat-sensitive sensors. If an increased temperature is detected, the alarm is triggered.
A distinction is made between thermal maximum detectors and thermal differential detectors as construction types. They are used where it is particularly smoky and dusty - smoke detectors therefore cannot react - such as in workshops or kitchens. They primarily serve to protect property, not people.
