PFD Monitor interpretation

A wholesale carbon monoxide detector installation programme cannot prudently be considered until the Government review establishes detailed requirements.

Verbatim wording from the response

“Until the outcome of that review is known it would not be prudent to consider a wholesale installation programme in the absence of the detailed requirements that such a recommendation would bring. For example, the most recent changes in Scotland will require smoke and carbon monoxide detectors in specific locations and of specific types. They will also need to be hard wired when those regulations come into force in Scotland in February 2021.”
