Factfile
Provides guidance for use of fire detectors using carbon monoxide (CO) sensors based on electrochemical cell technology enhanced by one or more thermal sensors. Highlights situations where thermally-enhanced CO fire detectors can provide a means of early fire detection and situations where these detectors are not recommended as the prime means of fire detection. Also covers siting, testing, servicing, maintenance and replacement.
Supersedes: FactFile 0032 FIA application guidelines for thermally-enhanced carbon monoxide (CO) fire detectors (FIA, 2009). The information set out in this document is believed to be correct in the light of information currently available but it is not guaranteed and neither the Fire Industry Association nor its officers can accept any responsibility in respect of the contents or any events arising from use of the information contained within this document. Application guidelines for CO only fire detectors are given in FIA Fact File No. 31 which replaced Fact File No. 4 BFPSA Application guidelines for carbon monoxide (CO) fire detectors (BFPSA, 2001).
The British Fire Protection Systems Association (BFPSA) the Fire Extinguishing Trades Association (FETA) and the Fire Industry Confederation (FIC) merged in April 2007 to form the Fire Industry Association.
