MANDATORY RETROFITTING – RETROFIT THE CLEVER WAY WITH ARGUS SMOKE DETECTORS |
 |
 |
| |
Smoke detectors make a significant contribution to safety and security in buildings, and legislators have also recognised this fact. Currently, only one flat in ten is equipped with these life-saving devices. To close this "safety gap", six German federal states have already adopted general smoke detector laws for new buildings, including mandatory retrofitting for some flats already in use. Additional federal states will surely follow this positive example in the future.
Retrofit now! Right now, Merten is offering the radio networking ARGUS Connect smoke detector especially for retrofitting single-family houses.

| • | Rhineland-Palatinate (new buildings) |
