If the alarm is located on the ceiling:
a . It should be at least 300mm from any wall and any ceiling obstruction
e .g . light fittings .
Alarms located in sleeping rooms and in rooms remote from a fuel-burning
appliance should be located relatively close to the breathing zone of the
occupants .
Caravans and boats
Caravans and boats may have additional risks of carbon monoxide ingress
through air vents due to the nearby presence of other vehicles, engines,
generators or barbecues, however this does not change the basic guidance
on location of the alarm . Caravans and boats should be fitted with an alarm
in the same room as any combustion appliance(s), located in accordance
with previous advice in this section . If the caravan has a single living space
which incorporates the sleeping accommodation, it can be considered to
be equivalent to a bedsit, and a single alarm is sufficient . However, any
sleeping accommodation which is in a separate room from the combustion
appliance(s) should also contain an alarm, located in accordance with
previous advice in this section .
It is not always possible to find an optimum location for an alarm, for
example, a small caravan may not have suitable vertical surfaces available .
Nevertheless, when fitting an alarm in such situations, the two most
important considerations when selecting an appropriate location are:
• Not mounting the alarm directly above a source of heat or steam; and
• Mounting the alarm at a distance of 1 – 3 m from the nearest edge of the
potential source .
