Yes. Underwriters Laboratories sets specific standards for the manufacture of smoke detectors and fire alarm initiating devices and accessories. Manufacturers who meet the quality testing standards are allowed to use the UL mark of approval. Smoke Detectors fall under three UL standards: UL 217, UL 1730, and UL 268.
