abstract="A preliminary analysis of smoke detector test data is reported. The data corresponds to the threshold limit test (i.e. minimum aerosol concentration for operation of the detector) carried out using the smoke detector tester developed by UKAEA, Harwell.Differences in response levels of different detector types are discussed assuming that response levels follow normal and Weibull distributions. Based on a quality control criterion a pass/fail criterion is proposed.<p />",
