CAN ULC-S540-13 (R2018) PDF Download

The CAN ULC-S540-13 (R2018) standard outlines the minimum requirements for the design, installation, inspection, testing, and maintenance of residential fire warning systems. This standard applies to dwelling units and care occupancies that do not require fire alarm systems as per the CAN/ULC-S524 standard.

The standard is applicable to both required and voluntary residential fire warning system installations. It provides guidelines on how these systems should be installed to effectively perform their intended function. It does not specify the type or extent of residential fire warning systems, but rather focuses on the installation and maintenance aspects.

For fire detection and alarm devices not covered by this standard, the installation should follow good engineering practices and the manufacturer's published installation instructions.
