SAFETY NOTE
In the United Kingdom,
ionisation smoke detectors are
subject to the requirements of
the Radioactive Substances
Act 1993 and to the Ionising
Radiations Regulations 1999
made under the provisions
of the Health and Safety at
Work Act 1974.
The detectors, independently
tested by the National
Radiological Protection
Board (NRPB), conform to all
the requirements specified
in the ‘Recommendations for
ionisation smoke detectors in
implementation of radiation
standards’ published by the
Nuclear Energy Agency of the
Organisation for Economic
Co-operation and
Development (OECD) 1977.
There is no limit to the number
of ionisation smoke detectors
which may be installed in
any fire protection system
within the UK. See
Certificate of Approval No.
TA1 of 1999 issues by the
HSE for further details.
Storage regulations depend
on local standards and the
legislation, but, in the UK, the
number of ionisation smoke
detectors in any building or
premises shall be less than
500. See Certificate of
Approval No. TA3 of 1999
issued by the HSE for further
details.
At the end of their
recommended working life
of ten years, ionisation
smoke detectors should be
returned to Apollo for safe
disposal or disposed of in an
otherwise locally approved
and environmentally safe
manner. Please see "A Guide
to the Care, Maintenance
and Servicing of Apollo
Products", PP2055.

For wind speeds up to 1m/s
(200ft/min) the change in
analogue value will not
exceed 5 counts.
Continuous operation in
wind speeds greater than
2m/s (400ft/min) is not
recommended. However,
wind speeds up to 10m/s
(2000ft/min) can be tolerated
for short periods and will
not under any conditions
increase the probability of
false alarms.
