RATIONALISING CARBON MONOXIDE SAFETY

摘要

The UK and Ireland have lagged behind some other countries with Regulations to address CO poisoning in homes: for example, a growing number of American States have demanded CO alarms in all housing for some time. However, requirements for CO alarms began to appear in 2010 for England and Wales, followed in 2012 by Northern IreLand and most recently Scotland - due to take effect this October. Published draft provisions forthe Republic of Ireland are also expected to be enacted shortly.
