We recommend that you put CO alarms to EN 50291 in your hand luggage. Please be careful not to pack so tightly that the  the test button is squeezed. However, if the carbon monoxide (CO) alarm sounds fully in the aircraft, it could be a fumes event in the ‘plane so explain this to the crew and suggest oxygen masks are used.  

Please don’t think carbon monoxide only happens abroad. Carbon monoxide can happen to anyone, anywhere at any time.

Please also be aware that a carbon monoxide alarm will only sound at relatively high levels of CO.

A CO alarm is NOT a monitor.

I did attend but don’t think there are any pics of me but do let me know if you spot me!

I did manage to have a quick chat with Paul Davies MP, Chair of APPCOG. He had asked me at a meeting in February to draft some Gas Regulations. I told him I was too busy and exhausted at that time. However I found time to have a go at this over the summer with the help of one gas expert* who is willing to give his name, Joshua Graves.

I asked Paul Davies MP for an  email or letter, which I hoped would help me to seek the advice of more gas experts, as the more the better. He agreed that the more gas experts I can consult, the better.  He kindly said he would write. 

*I’ve also had the help of another gas expert who wishes to remain anonymous.
