    Abstract - (Show below) - (Hide below)

    Describes general requirements for the construction, testing and performance of electrically operated carbon monoxide das detection apparatus, designed for continuous operation in a fixed installation in recreational vehicles and similar premises including recreational craft.

    Scope - (Show below) - (Hide below)

    This European Standard specifies general requirements for the construction, testing and performance of electrically operated carbon monoxide gas detection apparatus, designed for continuous operation in a fixed installation in recreational vehicles and similar premises including recreational craft.

    NOTE For caravan holiday homes EN 50291-1 applies.

    This European Standard specifies apparatus designed to operate in the event of an escape of carbon monoxide and to provide a visual and audible alarms only (Type B of EN 50291-1), or to provide visual and audible alarms and an executive action in the form of an output signal that can actuate directly or indirectly a shut-off device and/or other ancillary device (Type A of EN 50291-1).

    This European Standard excludes apparatus

    • for the detection of combustible gases, other than carbon monoxide itself (see EN 50194-1),

    • for the detection of CO in industrial installations (see EN 45544-1, EN 45544-2 and EN 45544-3) or commercial premises,

    • for CO measurement for smoke and fire detection.
