Where in the room should I place the
detector?
Apparatus located in the same room as a fuel-
burning appliance, for both wall and ceiling
mounted apparatus the following applies:
a The apparatus should be at a horizontal
distance of between 1m and 3m from the
potential source.
b If there is a partition in a room, the
apparatus should be located on the same
side of the partition as the potential
source.
c Carbon Monoxide detectors in rooms with
sloped ceilings should be located at the
high side of the room.
In addition to the above the following must
be observed:
If the apparatus is located on a wall:
a it should be located close to the ceiling;
b it should be located at a height greater
than the height of any door or window;
c it should be at least 150mm from the
ceiling.
If the apparatus is located on the ceiling:
a it should be at least 300mm from any
wall and any ceiling obstruction e.g. light
fittings.
Apparatus located in sleeping rooms and in
rooms remote from a fuel burning appliance
should be located relatively close to the
breathing zone of the occupants.
Where not to put the detector
The apparatus should not be installed:
• In an enclosed space (for example in a
cupboard or behind a curtain).
• Where it can be obstructed (for example
by furniture).
• Directly above a sink.
• Next to a door or window.
•
Next to an extractor fan.
• Next to an air vent or other similar
ventilation openings.
• In an area where the temperature may
drop below -10°C or exceed 40°C.
• Where dirt and dust may block the sensor.
• In a damp or humid location (for example
in a bathroom).
• In the immediate vicinity of the cooking
appliance.
• Within 1m (3 feet) of mobile phones.
Caravans
Caravans 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 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
