although detail may need slight modification to suit particular local site conditions. In all

alternative means to achieve an equivalent level of performance to that obtained following

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 or

ensuring regular servicing and maintenance of the appliance and chimney system.
