SAN DIEGO, CA — The Carbon Monoxide Health and Safety Association (COSHA) is spearheading an effort to include language that requires carbon monoxide detectors in the evolving ASHRAE ventilation standard 62.2P. The standard will affect all single-story residential dwellings.
The CO detector requirement language would state: “A carbon monoxide alarm meeting a nationally recognized standard such as UL 2034 or IAS 6-96 shall be installed in each dwelling unit of all buildings in accordance with manufacturer’s installation instructions.”
