Smoke Detector Code Regulations

This document outlines the New Jersey Administrative Code § 5:70-4.19, which pertains to smoke alarms and carbon monoxide alarms in one- and two-family dwellings. It specifies requirements for the installation of smoke alarms on each level of the premises and outside each separate sleeping area. The code mandates the use of ten-year sealed battery-powered single-station smoke alarms, listed in accordance with ANSI/UL 217. A/C-powered alarms already installed are acceptable. Carbon monoxide alarms are also required in dwelling units with fuel-burning devices or attached garages, to be installed in the immediate vicinity of sleeping areas.
