CO Alarm Ranges

 

Only an electronic Carbon Monoxide alarm can alert the occupants of a dwelling to a build up of the potentially fatal CO fumes.
As can be seen from our Home Page "News" column, CO incidents are regularly occurring.

These events can lead to poisoning with some cases producing permanent damage to the brain or at worse death.

CO alarm as detailed below is undoubtedly a wise investment in your safety.

Battery & Mains Plug In CO alarms for self installation

*Be wary of buying Battery CO alarms off "E Bay"; as such imported alarms may not bear the mandatory CE Mark; this is applied when the manufacturer/importer
has satisfied themselves regards compliance with the relevant European legislation on these products ie Electrical safety and Electrical Inteference (EMI).
Alarms directly imported from the US or Far East by 3rd parties may well not show the required CE mark (see image). Kidde only applies, following tests by independent, 3rd party laboratries.


Products made for the North American market have a Guarantee operated by Kidde in the USA with whom any claims would have to be raised, unless they are versions imported by Kidde in the UK, showing a CE mark on the product/packaging.

Smart Interconnect Hard Wired CO Alarms Features & Benefits

 

Fitting a CO alarm does not reduce the need for regular maintenance of all fossil fuelled appliances. UK tenants in rented dwellings have to have their gas appliances annually checked under the Gas Safety Regs, by a Gas Safe certified gas installer.


From April 2009 CORGI cease to be the provider and will hand over to Gas Safe, a new body responsible for Gas Installer Registration in the UK.,
but excluding N Ireland & Channel Islands.
