However, instructions and recommendations pre- present. sented in this section apply to all structures regardless of type. Carbon Monoxide Detectors See Figure 3-1. CO detectors (K) must be installed and used to monitor for CO and to warn individuals about the presence of CO. CO detectors must be installed and tested in accordance with the CO detector manufac- turer's instructions and warnings. Contact local building inspection department for any applicable requirements concerning CO detectors. See NFPA 72, National Fire Alarm and Signaling Code, and Section R315 in the ICC International Residential Code for more information. IMPORTANT NOTE: Common smoke alarms do NOT detect CO gas. Do not rely on smoke alarms to pro- tect residents or animals from CO. The only way to detect CO is to have functioning CO alarms.
