Summary

This report makes a recommendation to Communities and Local Government regarding the provision of carbon monoxide (CO) detectors under the building regulations.

This report concludes that installing CO detectors alongside new gas appliances (already incorporating secondary safety systems) gives low cost benefit. However, in the instance of solid fuel (without secondary safety system) or boats or caravans, the use of CO detectors is cost effective.

The findings and recommendations in this report are those of the consultant authors and do not necessarily represent the views or proposed policies of the Department for Communities and Local Government.
