New Regulations once approved will come into force on 1st October 2022The The Smoke and Carbon Monoxide Alarm (Amendment) Regulations 2022 amends the Smoke and Carbon Monoxide Alarm (England) Regulations 2015. Previously the requirement only applied to solid fuel combustion appliances, such as wood burners. The rules will, however, not extend to gas cookers.
A new requirement of the amended rule is to ensure when a tenant reports to the landlord or letting agent that an alarm may not be in proper working order, the alarm must be repaired or replaced.
