New, advanced fire detection
The life safety industry is in the midst of one of the biggest changes in its history due to new UL standards governing smoke detectors. These significant revisions to UL 268 and UL 217 will take fire detection to advanced levels, resulting in faster detection with fewer nuisance alarms and more lives saved. In 2018, Edwards became the first multi-criteria smoke detector manufacturer to receive UL 268 7th edition certification with the new Signature Optica detectors. Find out how Signature Optica detectors performed in a university setting in this detailed case study.
