Carbon monoxide detectors

[mhar]

Section 7.5.2 OSG (red) covers smoke alarms but I am unable to find any reference to the requirements (if any) for fitting carbon monoxide detectors.

They're often requested as mandatory by LBC at planning stage on new builds, but not aware of a refurb requirement. Eic make them to fit the rest of the range so you can fit them to interlink with the smokes, only a few quid and well worth it - read the gas fitter thread I posted up earlier!!

Thanks for the helpful quick replies.
I know it is common sense hence the question. The part J link was especially interesting but a bit wooly as it says 'should' be installed. I was hoping for a 'must' which I could show my customer.

I'd treat it as 'regulation speak' for 'must'.
