DETAILS ON CO ALARM INSTALLATION AS
STATED IN ANNEX B OF BS7860-1996
IN WHICH ROOM TO PUT THE ALARM:
Ideally, you should have an alarm in or near every
room that contains a fuel burning appliance.
However, if you have more than one appliance, but
only one alarm, you should take the following into
consideration when deciding where best to put the
alarm.
If there is an appliance in the room where you sleep,
you should put the alarm in that room.
If there is an appliance in a room that you use a lot
eg. sitting room, you should put it in that room.
If you live in a bedsit, put the alarm as far away from
the cooking appliances as possible, but near to the
place where you sleep.
If the appliance is in a room not normally used (eg.
boiler room) put the alarm just outside the room so
that you will be able to hear the alarm more easily.
