In the USA fire alarm code applies to smoke detectors and anything else used
to detect and warn of fire.  Using something which is not listed for the
purpose doesn't turn a non-compliant installation into a compliant one.  If
the system includes smoke or fire detectors then it is a fire alarm and it
is subject to code (wherever code actually exists).  I included the
parenthetical phrase only because there are still a small percentage of
communities where there is no code at all.
