Abstract
A new nuisance test was introduced to the ANSI/UL 217 Standard for Safety Smoke Alarms with a broiling hamburgers cooking scenario. This study examines alarms that are certified to the new standard and older alarms against a broiling hamburger scenario and against several other nuisance cooking scenarios. During these tests, the aerosols produced from the cooking were measured using an electrical low pressure cascade impactor to quantify the aerosol concentrations and diameters at the time of alarm. Overall, the broiling hamburger test produced the largest mean particle sizes and resulted in the second highest mass concentration of all the cooking scenarios.Proceedings Title
