Environmental stress testing is conducted and optical alarms have their sensitivity set by calibrating in actual smoke. Quality Assurance checks are carried out on all products at the sub-assembly, final-assembly and packaged stages. It’s a major task that has an impact on the price of the product but surely the peace of mind is worth that little bit extra. [...]
