Detectagas, DG2, CO Alarm Testing Kit - 400ml (Non-flammable)

The test button on a CO alarm does not fully test the sensor; it only tests the battery and buzzer. A non sensing alarm puts lives at risk.

Carbon Monoxide is invisible, and deadly. That is why it is so important to install a CO alarm and perform a regularly CO Alarm Test it to check that both its battery and its gas sensor are working to protect you and those around you.

Every bit as important as a smoke alarm, the early warning a properly installed and regularly tested CO alarm can give you can make the difference between life and death.

The sensor in a CO alarm lasts around five years and many of the alarms already installed in the UK are over 5 years old.  The test button on a CO alarm does not fully test the sensor with carbon monoxide nor does it prove that contaminated air is reaching the sensor via the casing vents, it only tests the battery and buzzer.  Several independent reports have stated failure rates in CO alarm sensors which were less than a few years old.  Most CO alarms are supplied with up to a ten year warranty, however pressing the test button will indicate the alarm is working when in fact it may not be.
