Smoke alarms must be installed in your villa now
Homeowners in the UAE who own villas must install fire and smoke alarms in their properties and subscribe to Hassantuk, the UAE alarm system.
Back in September 2020, the UAE Cabinet announced a resolution on the mandatory installation of fire and smoke alarms in homes with the aim of improving fire safety in the UAE.
The resolution was then published in the Official Gazette in January 2021 with guidelines for implementation over the next three years.
As a result, villa owners in the UAE will be required to install smoke alarms by 2024.
The resolution only applies to owners of villas, as apartment buildings are already equipped with fire alarm systems
