Health and Safety Executive Domestic carbon monoxide alarms Long-term reliability and use scoping study Prepared by the Health and Safety Laboratory for the Health and Safety Executive 2011 RR847 Research Report Health and Safety Executive Domestic carbon monoxide alarms Long-term reliability and use scoping study Peter Walsh Harpur Hill Buxton Derbyshire SK17 9JN Carbon monoxide (CO) is an invisible, odourless and tasteless gas produced in the home by any fuel-burning appliance. Properly installed appliances are designed to combust fuel efficiently and produce little waste CO; any CO that is produced is either vented from the room to outside by a flue or chimney, made inert by a catalytic converter associated with the appliance, or is left to disperse naturally. CO alarms are widely recommended as one of a number of important measures to protect against the health risks associated with CO leaks from fuel burning appliances. The expected lifetime of CO alarms has been increasing since their introduction in the mid-1990s and some current models have an expected lifetime of more than 6 years under normal operation.
