Alarms located in sleeping rooms or located
in rooms remote from the fuel-burning
appliance should be located relatively close
to the breathing zone of the occupants.
Caravans and boats
Caravans and boats may have additional risks
of carbon monoxide ingress through air vents
due to the nearby presence of other vehicles,
engines, generators or barbecues, however
this does not change the basic guidance
on location of the alarm. Caravans and
boats should be fitted with an alarm in the
same room as any combustion appliance(s),
located in accordance with previous advice
in this section. If the caravan has a single
living space which incorporates the sleeping
accommodation, it can be considered to
be equivalent to a bedsit, and a single
alarm is sufficient. However, any sleeping
accommodation which is in a separate room
from the combustion appliance(s) should also
contain an alarm, located in accordance with
previous advice in this section.
It is not always possible to find an optimum
location for an alarm, for example, a small
caravan may not have suitable vertical
surfaces available. Nevertheless, when fitting
an alarm in such situations, the two most
important considerations when selecting an
appropriate location are:
•
Not mounting the alarm directly above a
source of heat or steam; and
•
Mounting the alarm at a distance of 1 – 3
m from the nearest edge of the potential
source.
