People have known for centuries that carbon monoxide is life-threatening. Even today, thousands of people are killed by carbon monoxide incidents every year. Carbon monoxide prevention remains important, especially now that houses are better insulated for energy saving purposes.
A carbon monoxide detector is an important tool in this respect, provided that detector is of good quality and meets the applicable requirements. Although almost everyone knows that the invisible and odourless carbon monoxide can be life-threatening, CO incidents that could be prevented still occur on a daily basis.
In this whitepaper, Kiwa details how independent testing, thorough inspection and certification comes in, to prevent harm of you and your loved ones by this silent 'creeping killer'.
