I made a comment as of January 1, 2015 I only changes to attract the attention of people wishing to equip themselves with such systems since law applicable from 08.03.2015.
I bought this lot in December 2014 to 19.90 VAT, plus delivery ... Today it is 2 times more expensive!
Playing on people's fear to earn lots of money easily is outrageous. Especially since, to date, if there is a fire in your home and you are still not equipped with smoke detectors, your insurance will indemnify you as was previously the case: Just ask your insurer.
That will surely change, but this is not the case to date.
It is also noteworthy that my insurance (Axa) do not know answer for the exact type of equipment to be installed. It is "the haphazard" than choosing one or another type of detector and take the risk of any change in some time if the insurance come to decide on the type of equipment to purchase.
So, wait a little longer before aquire: As the price of breathalyser to put in your car, the price of smoke detectors will return to normal in a few months.
That said, here are my first impressions of this product despite it being difficult to judge a product that can only operate in case of fire ...
Nevertheless, detectors seem well made and come with, for each, a 9 volt battery.
They have a single laboratory validation of French to enable a standard recognized by insurance ... Well, that's what it says on the Amazon site.
After contacting my insurer, it clearly has no idea what laboratory is authorized to issue a standard for smoke detectors: It was very vague in these explanations concerning the choice of material to use.
You must install the detectors. And that's all.
Since it is "mandatory" from this year, I bought them for not having problems with my insurer if problem.
In my humble opinion, I feel that it is like the "mandatory" breathalyzer in cars: It does not will avoid accidents ...
It is for everyone (e) take the necessary steps to anticipate any potential risk factors "in good conscience".
Having been unable to test (within set fire to my house! ... Help!), My rating is only given in the unit price (December 2014) detectors and credibility that I give ( rightly or wrongly) with guidance provided by the seller on the Amazon site.
Kind regards,
