Thanka but it is supposedly law after October 1st 2022 to have them fitted in rental properties with gas burning appliances expect cookersI probably wouldn’t class it as anything unless Gas safe release a technical bulletin or there’s another usp from igem.
Yes ok I get that, but where’s the risk? Risk of CO from a dodgy appliance that should be maintained. Ncs imo would apply here and note down. Again unless anything changes by the governing bodies.Thanka but it is supposedly law after October 1st 2022 to have them fitted in rental properties with gas burning appliances expect cookers
It‘s going to be law in rentals, so will be down to landlord to sort, not the engineer unless they’re asked to.Maybe its up to landlord to fit or get installer at time of visit to fit.
Think it's CO alarms for new boilers/appliances fitted too regardless of whether it's rented or not.
No it doesn’t, but on some forms, eg the Regin ones, it asked about whether audible CO alarms are fitted, in date and tested.Nowhere does it state checks to be included in CP.12.
But if you had a boiler and a hob in a kitchen you would need one?No, Tenanted only with some properties excluded.

Excludes rooms with only a cooker in.
Depending how big the kitchen is, you may need 2. Aico ones (we fit these) have a minimum of 1m away from appliance and a maximum of 3m. There’s some of our properties that need 2.But if you had a boiler and a hob in a kitchen you would need one?
It's classed as non compliant which is the same as not to current standards. However, failure to fit a required safety feature like smoke or co alarms could make the landlord or gas safe engineer liable for any damages. So like always document everything you see and do because it could prove very costly if you don't.Maybe its up to landlord to fit or get installer at time of visit to fit.
But as a trained gas engineer you know that it is now law.No, Tenanted only with some properties excluded.

This link if it works. Says that CO alarms must be fitted, and not, should be fitted. Which in my eyes means you cannot fill out the cp12 as a pass. I carry both on the van and got on site. (With permission of course).
I know that travelling at over 70mph is illegal, but I don't sit at the side of the road writing down numbers and reporting the drivers.But as a trained gas engineer you know that it is now law.
