Product Specification

AS3786 Smoke Alarm for Australian Residential Projects

Product Overview

The JKD-518 is a photoelectric smoke alarm developed for residential fire protection projects requiring long-term reliability and low maintenance. In addition to meeting EN14604:2005/AC:2008 requirements for the European market, this model is also available in a configuration that complies with AS3786:2023 for Australia.

Powered by a sealed 10-year lithium battery, the detector eliminates routine battery replacement during its intended service life. Combined with a photoelectric smoke sensor and an audible alarm of at least 85dB, the JKD-518 is suitable for new residential developments, replacement programs and private-label projects.

For importers supplying multiple regions, using one product platform with different market certifications can simplify product management and reduce development time.

Why AS3786 Compliance Matters

Australia has its own regulatory requirements for residential smoke alarms. Products intended for this market should comply with AS3786:2023, while products sold in Europe typically follow EN14604.

For distributors serving both regions, selecting a model available under both standards can help:

• Simplify product planning for multiple markets
• Reduce the number of product platforms to manage
• Maintain a consistent product appearance across regions
• Support international private-label programs
• Improve supply chain efficiency
