How Siterwell Is Shaping Global Fire Safety Standards—From China's GB20517 to UL Certification
Siterwell Electronics Co., Ltd., a global provider of advanced fire safety and IoT-based protection solutions, has reinforced its role as an industry innovator by actively contributing to the newly released Chinese national standard GB20517-2025: Standalone Smoke Fire Detectors.
This milestone underscores Siterwell's dual leadership—not only as a product pioneer but as a trusted authority in developing the technical frameworks that define modern safety.
“For us, contributing to standards is about more than compliance—it's about advancing meaningful safety,” said a Siterwell spokesperson. “With rising expectations from global markets, it's critical to ensure our technologies not only meet international standards but contribute to their evolution.”
Raising the Bar on Performance
The new GB20517-2025 standard introduces stricter requirements that reflect the global shift toward higher safety expectations.
Siterwell's involvement in the development process goes beyond regulatory participation—it stems from a long-standing commitment to testing excellence. The company has long prioritized robust, real-world testing as the foundation of its product development process. Its internal protocols, built through years of collaboration with certification bodies across multiple regions, continue to support the company's goal of delivering reliable, standards-ready fire safety solutions for diverse markets.
Built on Proprietary Innovation
Siterwell's contributions are rooted in its long-term investment in R&D and sensor technology, including its patented dual-path (dual-emitter) optical sensing system. This innovation enhances detection accuracy while reducing false alarms from cooking smoke or steam—a common challenge in residential environments.
The technology has been certified under UL's enhanced false alarm immunity standards, positioning Siterwell among the first global brands to meet these rigorous requirements.
A Growing Voice in Global Standardization
Siterwell's role as the first China-based member of UL's Technical Committee for Smoke and Carbon Monoxide Alarms in 2023 reflects its commitment to global cooperation in safety standards. Its engagement in both the UL committee and the GB20517 process demonstrates Siterwell's ongoing commitment to cross-border dialogue and shared progress in fire safety governance.
“Global safety requires global collaboration,” the spokesperson added. “By working across borders with regulators and certification bodies, we're helping harmonize safety practices—benefiting policymakers, businesses, and families worldwide.”
Looking Ahead
As fire risks evolve, so must the systems designed to protect homes and lives. Siterwell's dual role as both innovator and standard-setter marks a new chapter in fire safety governance. By driving progress at both the product and regulatory levels, the company continues its mission to deliver smart, reliable safety solutions globally.
