new rule on CO alarms

[ambrosia]

can anyone clarify the new rules on CO alarms, i keep hearing rumors and whispers

i've been told for every new appliance installed it will be mandatory to fit a CO alarm, but wanted some clarfication of if and when this comes into force and whether it solely concerns domestic

 

[Billy Bob Bob]

not mandatory yet,but it can only be a good thing if it comes in,be ahead of the game start fitting them now

It's a requirement for solid fuel so wouldn't be surprised if it is brought in across the board, first i have heard of it though?

 

[Orry Clayton]

That's another £30 on price, plus £30 fitting - ha

Should be law in rented properties and strongly advised in all others

Out of interest, how many CO incidents are there on new builds?

I don't know why manufacturers don't stick them in with new appliances or even try and build them into boilers etc.
