Navigating UL 268 7^th Edition – ASD Systems

Smoke detectors play an essential role in fire safety, alerting us to potential threats and giving us valuable time to evacuate in case of a fire. To ensure the reliability and effectiveness of these life-saving devices, industry standards are continually updated and improved. One such standard is UL 268, which governs the performance of smoke detectors in the United States. This presentation will delve into UL 268 7th edition, exploring its significance, key changes, and the impact it has particularly on Air Sampling Smoke Detectors.
