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 50292:2002
and from the alarm manufacturer’s 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.
