Provisions cover the installation, location, performance, inspection, testing, and maintenance of carbon monoxide detection and warning equipment.<\/p>\n<p>Eight new chapters address the installation of carbon monoxide detection systems that might be installed in non-residential types of occupancies. Their format is modeled after <em>NFPA 72\u00ae: National Fire Alarm Code\u00ae.<\/em> Chapter 9 addresses requirements of CO alarms and household CO detection systems.<\/p>\n<p><strong>In addition to the broader scope, significant requirements in the 2009 edition include these provisions for non-residential occupancies:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>The capacity of the secondary power supply to include the capability of operating all carbon monoxide notification appliances for 12 hours<\/li>\n<li>Location of carbon monoxide detectors on the ceiling in the same room as permanently installed fuel-burning appliances<\/li>\n<li>Location of carbon monoxide detectors on every habitable level and in every HVAC zone of the building<\/li>\n<li>Functional testing and sensitivity testing of CO detectors with CO gas starting  1-1-2012 and 1-1-2015 respectively<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>Updated rules for dwelling units include new requirements for:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Locating carbon monoxide alarms\/detectors on every level (in addition to outside sleeping areas)<\/li>\n<li>Battery backup for electrically powered units in new homes<\/li>\n<li>Interconnection of CO alarms in new homes to assure early warning of occupants at all levels<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>This Standard is essential for system designers, installation contractors, service contractors, and AHJs.<\/p>\n<h4>PDF
