Anka Smoke Detector Compliance with New Zealand Standards

Yes, the Anka smoke detector meets the New Zealand market standard requirements if it complies with the relevant New Zealand and Australian standards for smoke alarms. Here's what you need to know:

Key Standards for Smoke Detectors in New Zealand

• AS/NZS 3786:2014 – The primary standard for smoke alarms in New Zealand, specifying requirements for construction, performance, and testing of smoke alarms using scattered light, transmitted light, or ionization techniques.
• Building Code (NZBC) Clause F7 – Requires smoke alarms in residential homes to meet AS/NZS 3786.
• Tenancy Laws – Landlords must ensure compliant smoke alarms are installed and working in rental properties (Residential Tenancies Act).

Does Anka Smoke Detector Comply?

• If the Anka smoke detector is certified to AS/NZS 3786:2014, then it meets NZ requirements.
• Some Anka models may comply with European (EN 14604) or American (UL 217) standards, but these do not automatically qualify for NZ use unless they also meet AS/NZS 3786.
