Every home should have working smoke and CO alarms. You must have a certificate of compliance that shows your smoke and CO alarms meet certain standards when you sell or transfer a home. This page helps you determine if your alarms meet requirements or must be replaced, and how to get a certificate of compliance.
An eDocument can be considered legally binding given that certain requirements are fulfilled. They are especially vital when it comes to stipulations and signatures associated with them. Typing in your initials or full name alone will not guarantee that the organization requesting the sample or a court would consider it accomplished. You need a trustworthy tool, like signNow that provides a signer with a digital certificate. In addition to that, signNow keeps compliance with ESIGN, UETA, and eIDAS - main legal frameworks for eSignatures.

A realestate agent told me while he was visiting my place that I'm required to submit a certificate to prove that all smoke alarms meet the new requirement and he can introduce someone to install or just provide a certificate for around $110.
But I'm just wondering if a certificate is mandatory. I'm happy to install new smoke alarms for new buyers but I haven't been able to find any site showing that it is mandatory to submit a certificate.

Whenever a home is sold in Massachusetts, it is required to be inspected by the local Fire Department for properly working smoke alarms, as well as carbon monoxide alarms. The smoke alarm law in Massachusetts has been in place for decades, and it is designed to save lives. A property cannot change ownership without a certificate being issued by the local Fire Department. Carbon monoxide alarms are required in any residence that has fossil-fuel burning equipment including, but not limited to, a furnace, boiler, water heater, fireplace or any other apparatus, appliance or device, or has enclosed parking within its structure.
The inspection for both the smoke and carbon monoxide alarms can be done by the Wayland Fire Department. Certificates of Compliance are valid for sixty (60) days. The Certificate of Compliance is needed at the closing of the sale. The lender's attorney will most certainly ask for this document, and you will not be able to close on your property without it. The Town of Wayland charges a fee of $50.00 for this compliance inspection. Our Department can assist you with any questions or concerns you might have on compliance with both smoke detector and carbon monoxide alarm requirements. To arrange for an inspection or if you have any questions, please contact the Wayland Fire Department at (508) 358-7951.
Massachusetts General Laws Chapter 148, Section 26F requires that all properties being sold be inspected by the Fire Department for compliance with smoke detector regulations. For more information about smoke detector regulations, please visit the Commonwealth of Massachusetts website.

Smoke Alarms:
Smoke Alarms are required to be installed on each level of the home including the basement. Alarms are required to be less than 10 years old at the time of resale/change of occupancy.
Single Story Homes should have Smoke Alarms and Carbon Monoxide Alarms located within 10 feet of all bedrooms in the
hallway at a minimum. Homes built after 1990 will have smoke alarms located in each bedroom as well.
Multi-Story Homes should have their first floor smoke alarm located near the bottom of the stairs leading up to the second
floor. Upstairs, a smoke alarm and carbon monoxide alarm should be located within 10 feet of all bedrooms. Homes built
after 1990 will have smoke alarms located in each bedroom as well.
Homes with Basements should have at least one smoke detector mounted at the ceiling level near the staircase or, in the
staircase, mounted 5 inches from the ceiling on the wall.
Homes built prior to 1977 are usually battery operated. Effective January 1, 2019, all battery operated single station smoke
alarms must be 10 year sealed-battery type alarms, unless an addition or renovation has been done and the home had to
be brought up to newer code standards.
Homes built between 1977 and 1990 are electrically operated and most are interconnected. These require a report from a
licensed electrician. The electrician will need to test the alarms, making sure that they are working appropriately, no
components are recalled or more than 10 years old. Electricians shall indicate which type of electrically operated system is
installed (interconnected or non-interconnected). It is recommended that A/C powered, with battery backup type smoke
alarms be installed in these homes at minimum. These homes typically have alarms on each level, but not in each
bedroom.

Since 1 October 2009, mains powered smoke alarms are required to be fitted in all existing residential buildings prior to sale and before a new tenancy agreement is signed. These requirements are now prescribed in the Building Regulations 2012.
Local Government agencies are responsible for investigating and enforcing the mandatory requirement to fit and maintain smoke alarms under the Building Regulations 2012, so non-compliance can be directed to the local council. .
For rental properties, tenants are likely to be responsible for keeping smoke alarms in working order to the extent practical eg changing the battery if reasonably accessible and testing the smoke alarm so they are aware of the alert. All smoke alarms have a test button that, when pressed, indicate whether the alarm is working or not.
Real estate agents should check with the owner that the property is fitted with mains powered smoke alarms that are no more than 10 years old, in working order and permanently connected to mains power.
Where mains powered smoke alarms cannot be fitted, due to the construction of the dwelling not permitting space to conceal the wiring, or where no mains power is available, alarms with a 10 year battery life are permitted.
Settlement agents acting for a seller should advise their client to check the property is fitted with mains powered smoke alarms that are no more than 10 years old, in working order and permanently connected to mains power.
Where mains powered smoke alarms cannot be fitted, due to the construction of the dwelling not permitting space to conceal the wiring, or where no mains power is available, alarms with a 10 year battery life are permitted. An owner or settlement agent can check with the local council if permission has been granted to install a battery smoke alarm instead of a wired smoke alarm.
If the seller wishes to proceed to settlement where the smoke alarms are not in place settlement agents should protect themselves by obtaining a written instruction and acknowledgment from their client stating that settlement is to proceed despite the smoke alarms not being installed at the premises.
