CO ALARMS
Building regulations require that whenever a
new or replacement fixed solid fuel or wood/
biomass appliance is installed in a dwelling a
carbon monoxide alarm must be fitted in the
same room as the appliance. Further guidance
on the installation of the carbon monoxide alarm
is available in BS EN 50202:2012 and from the
alarm manufacturers instructions.
Provision of an alarm must not be considered a
substitute for either installing the appliance
correctly or ensuring regular servicing and
maintenance of the appliance and chimney
system.
